Answer:
In Oklahoma, for the control and equitable division and disposition of the property of the parties, or of either of them, the court will consider the time and manner of acquiring such property and whether the title of the property is in either or both of the parties. The provisions in this regard have been enumerated in 43 Okl. St. § 108, that reads as follows:“That the parties appear to be in equal wrong shall not be a basis for refusing to grant a divorce, but if a divorce is granted in such circumstances, it shall be granted to both parties. In any such case or where the court grants alimony without a divorce or in any case where a divorce is refused, the court may for good cause shown make such order as may be proper for the custody, maintenance and education of the children, and for the control and equitable division and disposition of the property of the parties, or of either of them, as may be proper, equitable and just, having due regard to the time and manner of acquiring such property, whether the title thereto be in either or both of said parties.”
