There is not a calculator or spreadsheet for determining alimony in Oklahoma. The law simply says this in 43 O.S. § 121: “Either spouse may be allowed such alimony out of real and personal property of the other as the court shall think reasonable, having due regard to the value of such property at the time of the dissolution of marriage. Alimony may be allowed from real or personal property, or both, or in the form of money judgment, payable either in gross or in installments, as the court may deem just and equitable.” That is all that it says.

If you are looking online at a website that claims to have a formula for calculating alimony or spousal support in Oklahoma, you are being misled. Alimony factors only come from decades of appellate cases.

Alimony and spousal support are synonymous terms. They mean the same thing. Alimony is a court-ordered money payment from one spouse (or former spouse) to the other during and after a divorce case.

When it comes to divorce, one of the most contentious issues is alimony. Alimony, also known as spousal support, is a court-ordered payment made by one spouse to the other after a divorce. The purpose of alimony is to provide financial support to the spouse who is financially dependent on the other.
