Consulting an Attorney: The Key to Fair Asset Division in Divorce
When it comes to divorce in Oklahoma, the division of property can be a complicated and contentious issue. Many people wonder if they can take all the money from joint accounts before filing for divorce. The short answer is no, you cannot simply take all the money.
