Updated September 3, 2026. Quick answer: Oklahoma’s alimony and property-division statute contains no enumerated factors list. It authorizes alimony "as the court shall think reasonable" without naming age, health, earning capacity, or marriage length as considerations in the statutory text.
The rule that changes the answer in Oklahoma
Under 43 Okla. Stat. § 121: “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.”
What this means for duration
No statutory duration threshold or formula; the section sets no length-of-marriage rule.
The statute that actually ends support alimony is a different one, and for a later-life divorce it is the more important of the two: Under 43 Okla. Stat. § 134(B): “The court shall also provide in the dissolution of marriage decree that upon the death or remarriage of the recipient, the payments for support, if not already accrued, shall terminate.”
Why this matters for a later-life divorce
Oklahoma alimony determinations rest on undivided judicial discretion developed through case law rather than a statutory checklist, which changes how a self-directed reader should evaluate any online "Oklahoma alimony factors" claim. Section 134 also makes a former spouse’s voluntary cohabitation a ground to ask the court to reduce or terminate future support, which matters more in a later-life divorce than any factors list would.

Read directly from the Oklahoma State Courts Network (oscn.net, the state courts’ own official statute repository); independently re-confirmed this session by reading the same page again (0 occurrences of the word "factor" anywhere in the 49,946-byte raw document). Every alimony-bearing section of Title 43 (108, 121, 129, 130, 134, 136) was fetched and searched this session: none contains a factors list, and 134 is where the termination rules live.
