DOREC property management guidelines

Explanation

Oklahoma is a common law (separate property) state, not a community property state. Each spouse owns property they individually acquire or receive as a gift or inheritance. Property titled jointly is owned jointly. This differs from community property states where most marital acquisitions are owned 50/50.
