Why Our Oklahoma City Divorce Attorneys for Business Owners Matter

When you’re a business owner going through divorce, your company becomes more than just another asset on a spreadsheet—it’s your career, your income, and often your identity. Unfortunately, the courts see it as property that may need to be divided. In Oklahoma, any business interest acquired or grown during the marriage can be classified as marital property, putting your ownership stake at risk.

Cannon & Associates takes a strategic approach to high-asset and business owner divorces. We partner with forensic accountants and valuation professionals to determine exactly what your business is worth—and to identify the best path forward. Whether that means negotiating a buyout, offsetting your spouse’s share with other assets, or preparing for trial, we build a customized strategy designed to keep your business intact while achieving a fair resolution.

Your Fierce Advocates® From Day One

When you hire Cannon & Associates, you’re not just getting one attorney—you’re getting an entire team dedicated to your case. As one of the largest family law teams in the state, we operate on a “hire one, hire all” philosophy. That means you benefit from the collective knowledge, experience, and resources of our entire firm working together on your behalf.

Our founder, John Cannon, is an Army combat veteran, former prosecutor, and a child of divorce himself. He understands the personal toll this process takes and has built a firm that treats every client like family. We combine that personal touch with aggressive courtroom advocacy to deliver the results business owners need. When your company and your future are on the line, you deserve Fierce Advocates® in your corner.

What to Expect When Dividing a Business in Divorce

Every business owner’s divorce is different, but the process typically follows a few key steps:

Step 1: Identification – All assets, including your business, must be identified and categorized as either marital or separate property.

Step 2: Valuation – The business needs to be accurately valued, which often requires bringing in appraisers and forensic accountants.

Step 3: Resolution – The court or a negotiated settlement will determine how the business interest is handled.

There are several possible outcomes. You may be able to buy out your spouse’s share, offset their interest with other marital assets, or, in some cases, the business may need to be sold. The worst-case scenario—being forced to co-own a business with an ex-spouse—is rare but possible if no other resolution can be reached. Our attorneys work to avoid that outcome by pursuing creative solutions that protect both your ownership and your peace of mind.

Beyond the legal complexities, divorce can take a significant emotional and psychological toll—especially when your life’s work feels threatened. It’s normal to experience stress, anxiety, and uncertainty during this time. Having a legal team that communicates openly and keeps you informed can make a real difference in managing the pressure while staying focused on the outcome.

"My experience with CANNON & ASSOCIATES was absolutely amazing. I hired John Cannon two days before my rebuttal statement was due back to the Staff Judge Advocate. Within that time frame he was able to talk to my Battery and Battalion Commanders, review my evidence, and help me write a rebuttal statement that help prove my case to them, the Brigade Commander and the Post Commanding General. Cannon worked thru the night to help me get the best results for me and my family. Due to his hard work and attention to detail I am still able to continue to serve my country and progress in my military career with no adverse actions on my record. I can not thank him enough on a job well done. Cannon showed me that he was invested in my case and I highly recommend you hire him when you need someone to represent you in a legal matter."
