Owasso Divorce Attorney
Eggert Law Firm represents Owasso families in divorce and family law matters. Our office is in Broken Arrow, less than fifteen minutes from most Owasso addresses. Owasso is one of Oklahoma's fastest-growing communities, and the firm's Owasso caseload reflects that: young families navigating first divorces, custody arrangements for parents with school-age children, and financial cases that often involve recently purchased homes and combined household debts. Christopher J. Eggert has represented Owasso clients through the entire range of family law matters, from uncontested divorces resolved quickly to complex custody cases requiring extended court involvement.
Serving Owasso families from our Broken Arrow office
Owasso residents are in Tulsa County, which means Owasso divorces are filed at the Tulsa County District Court at 500 S Denver Ave in downtown Tulsa. The drive from Owasso to the courthouse takes about thirty minutes without traffic. The firm handles the court filings and appearances so Owasso clients typically only need to attend hearings that legally require their presence.
Consultations happen at our Broken Arrow office at 108 W Dallas St, a short drive from Owasso, or by video call. Video consultations have become common for Owasso families, particularly parents of school age children who prefer to handle preliminary meetings without arranging childcare or taking time off work.
What Owasso divorce cases typically involve
Owasso's demographic profile creates some patterns in the family law cases the firm sees from this community.
Cases involving young children. Owasso is a family heavy community with a strong school district, which means many Owasso divorces involve custody, visitation, and child support arrangements. Both parents typically want to maintain stability for the children, which often makes mediation and creative custody structures more viable than in highly contested cases.
Cases involving recently purchased homes. Many Owasso couples purchased homes during the community's rapid growth period, which means the home is often the largest marital asset. Deciding whether to sell, refinance, or transfer the property to one spouse is frequently the central financial question in the case.
Cases involving combined debts. Younger couples often carry combined credit card, student loan, or auto loan debt. Dividing this debt is an important part of the settlement discussion. Eggert Law Firm's bankruptcy practice sometimes overlaps here when the combined debt load makes bankruptcy the right complement to the divorce.
Uncontested divorces. When both spouses agree on the terms, Owasso divorces can move through Tulsa County District Court relatively quickly. The firm handles uncontested divorces regularly and can advise on whether your situation qualifies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to file my Owasso divorce in Owasso or somewhere else?
Owasso is in Tulsa County, which means Owasso divorces are filed at the Tulsa County District Court in downtown Tulsa. There is no separate courthouse in Owasso for divorce cases. Eggert Law Firm handles the filings and court appearances.
How far is your office from Owasso?
Our office at 108 W Dallas St in Broken Arrow is about fifteen minutes from most Owasso addresses. Consultations happen at the Broken Arrow office or by video call, depending on your preference.
Can I keep my kids in Owasso Public Schools during a custody dispute?
In most cases involving primary residence changes, courts try to minimize disruption to children's schooling, especially when the school year is in session. Every situation is different, and specific school related custody terms should be discussed with an attorney during your consultation. Christopher has handled many custody cases involving Owasso Public Schools schedules.
How long does a divorce typically take?
Uncontested divorces typically finalize within a few weeks to a few months after filing. Contested divorces involving custody, asset division, or other disputes typically take six months to a year, and complex cases can take longer.
How much does a divorce attorney cost?
Fees vary substantially based on case complexity. Uncontested divorces are typically the most cost effective. Contested cases with custody or asset division take more time and cost more. Eggert Law Firm discusses fee structure in every consultation.
What is mediation and could it work for our situation?
Mediation is a process where both spouses work with a neutral third party, the mediator, to reach agreement on the terms of the divorce without going to trial. Mediation is often faster and less expensive than a contested court proceeding, and it works best when both parties are willing to negotiate in good faith. Christopher can advise on whether mediation is a good fit for your case.
What happens to our house in a divorce?
In Oklahoma, the marital home is subject to equitable distribution, which means it is divided fairly, though not always equally, between the spouses. Options typically include selling the home and dividing the proceeds, one spouse buying out the other's equity, or awarding the home to one spouse in exchange for other marital assets. The right option depends on your specific financial situation.
What if my spouse and I don't agree on everything but don't want a contested divorce?
This is one of the most common situations. Many divorces start with partial disagreement and move toward resolution through negotiation, mediation, or attorney facilitated settlement discussions. A case does not have to be either fully uncontested or fully contested. Christopher can discuss what options fit your specific situation.
