About Gwartney Law Group, PLLC — Family Law Edmond Oklahoma

Gwartney Law Group, PLLC offers family law Edmond clients steady representation in divorce, custody, and probate matters throughout Oklahoma County. Although the firm keeps its Edmond office close to the I-35 corridor, attorneys regularly appear in courthouses across the central Oklahoma region. The practice covers domestic relations, estate planning, and related civil matters for working families and small business owners.

Because Edmond sits inside the larger Oklahoma City metro, family disputes often cross county lines. Specifically, custody questions can involve schools in Edmond, employers in downtown Oklahoma City, and grandparents in nearby Logan or Cleveland counties. As a result, the firm focuses on practical case planning that anticipates jurisdictional issues before they delay a hearing.

What Clients Say

Past clients describe the firm as approachable and responsive during what they call some of the hardest periods of their lives. Reviewers point to clear fee explanations and no-surprise billing. Several note that the team explained custody schedules and child support guidelines in plain language rather than legal jargon.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an Edmond divorce take?

Oklahoma requires a 90-day waiting period after filing if minor children are involved, and 10 days for divorces without children. Uncontested matters in the Oklahoma County District Court can close shortly after the waiting period. Contested cases with custody or property disputes often take six to twelve months.

Where are family law cases heard for Edmond residents?

Edmond falls within Oklahoma County, so most family law matters are filed at the Oklahoma County Courthouse, 321 Park Avenue, Oklahoma City. The court hears divorce, custody, support, and probate matters. Edmond attorneys appear there frequently and know each judge’s procedures.

How is child custody decided in Oklahoma?

Oklahoma courts apply the “best interests of the child” standard under Title 43. Judges weigh each parent’s relationship with the child, stability of home environment, school involvement, and willingness to support the other parent’s role. Joint custody is encouraged when both parents can cooperate.
