MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE STATISTICS
By County of Issuance

Oklahoma State Department of Health
1000 N.E. 10th Street
Oklahoma City, OK 73117

Rocky McElvany, M.S.
Interim Commissioner of Health

Technical Notes
Total numbers only of marriages, absolute divorces and annulments are reported by county courts to the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH).
Marriage and divorce rates calculated are based on the total number of marriages, absolute divorces and annulments per 1,000 Oklahoma resident
population. Data are tabulated on decrees issued in the state of Oklahoma, not by State of Residence. Therefore, marriages, divorces and annulments
issued out of state to Oklahoma residents are not included while marriages, divorces and annulments issued in Oklahoma to out of state residents are
included. Year of decree is defined as the year the decree was granted.
Several counties (Canadian, Cleveland, Comanche, Garfield, Oklahoma, Payne, Rogers and Tulsa) recently initiated a new software system to record
decrees filed and issued. Software design deficiencies left these counties unable to distinguish counts of final decrees issued from initial filings and related
actions (such as child support payment adjustments) for a period of time. As a result, these counties may have failed to report or may not be able to
accurately report total numbers of marriages, divorces and annulments for this report. Statewide total number of marriages and divorces, as well as
statewide marriage and divorce rate, were not available for 2001 and 2002 as totals were not considered to be representative of the state.
The collection of detailed data on the total numbers and rates of marriages and divorces at the national and State levels by the National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS) was suspended beginning in January 1996 (See Federal Register Notice, Dec. 15, 1995). Limitations in the information collected by the
States as well as budgetary considerations necessitated this action. The most recent comprehensive analyses of detailed marriage and divorce data are
published in Advance Report of Final Marriage Statistics, 1989-90 and Advance Report of Final Divorce Statistics, 1989-90. NCHS will continue to collect
marital status in all of its population surveys and will continue to obtain detailed information on out-of-wedlock births. This change is being made to
prioritize programs in a period of tightened resource constraints.
Viewed at either the individual level or the population level, marital status is a key variable in health, demographic, and policy research. As a result, national
data on current marital status and on change in marital status is collected through a variety of Federal surveys and data systems. Among these systems
are health surveys conducted by NCHS, the Current Population Survey conducted by the U.S. Bureau of the Census, and the records-based vital
registration system conducted as a cooperative venture (the VSCP) between NCHS and the States. Within the VSCP, current marital status data are
collected from birth certificates in the birth registration system resulting, for example, in data on out-of-wedlock births. Marital status is also collected from
death certificates in the death registration system.
NCHS data systems are continually being reviewed in light of resource constraints to assure that efforts are focused on the highest priority data needs. At
a time when policy issues related to families are of great interest, NCHS has exercised caution to assure that data systems will be available to support
monitoring and research interests in key priority areas. NCHS has systematically reviewed the availability and uses of detailed data on marriages and
divorces. This review has led to the conclusion that the data most needed for setting policy (e.g., information on family formation, out- of-wedlock births,
children living in single parent families) can be obtained through other sources, such as the birth registration system, other NCHS surveys, and the Current
Population Survey.
The discontinuation of collection of detailed data from marriage and divorce certificates will result in a loss of data to researchers who currently rely on this
data source for information on annual changes in the collective marriage and divorce behavior of the population, including trends and differentials in the
propensity to marry, to divorce, and to remarry after divorce or widowhood. However, much of this information is available on a 5-year cycle from the June
Marital History Supplement of the Current Population Survey.
