A separation agreement is a legal document that when signed and notarized by you and your spouse can act as a legally binding contract that is separate from or survives the divorce. Such a contract is enforceable, meaning you can take legal action if your spouse does not adhere to the terms of the contract.
Any property acquired during a marriage is marital property, regardless of how it is titled or who owns it. This includes cars, houses, bank accounts, and all other property and assets. Oklahoma, along with 40 other states, is classed as an Equitable Distribution state.
Marital Settlement Agreements, reached between the parties in writing and signed by the parties, become legally binding when approved by the court at the time of the final court hearing.Once approved by the court, such post judgment stipulations do become legally binding and enforceable between the parties.
Property one spouse owned alone, before the marriage, or acquired by gift or inheritance during the marriage, is that spouse's separate property in California.California law also provides that property spouses acquire before a divorce, but after the date of separation, is separate property.

A separation agreement is a private, written, legally binding contract spelling out each spouse's rights and settling issues between spouses who have or intend to separate and/or divorce.
A separation agreement is a legally binding document drawn up between the parties in a marital relationship. The agreement is something that both people in the marriage use to formally divide their assets, debts, and other marital responsibilities so that each party experiences a fair separation from the other.
Separation agreements can be long and complex, especially if you and your partner have been together for years and have extensive marital property or children. While you can draft a separation agreement yourself, it's best to have an attorney do it for you.
To create a legally binding separation agreement both spouses must be completely open and honest about their financial situations. This requires a detailed disclosure of their significant assets and liabilities. The agreement must be in writing and signed by each party in the presence of a witness.

Separation and Property Agreements may be entered into before a divorce is filed to be effective.
Oklahoma Statutes
Title 43. Marriage
Disposition of property - Restoration of Maiden Name - Alimony:
When a divorce is granted, the wife shall be restored to her maiden or former name if she so desires. The court shall enter its decree confirming in each spouse the property owned by him or her before marriage and the undisposed-of property acquired after marriage by him or her in his or her own right. Either spouse may be allowed such alimony out of real and personal property of the other as the court shall think reasonable, having due regard to the value of such property at the time of the divorce. 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. As to such property, whether real or personal, which has been acquired by the parties jointly during their marriage, whether the title thereto be in either or both of said parties, the court shall, subject to a valid antenuptial contract in writing, make such division between the parties as may appear just and reasonable, by a division of the property in kind, or by setting the same apart to one of the parties, and requiring the other thereof to be paid such sum as may be just and proper to effect a fair and just division thereof. The court may set apart a portion of the separate estate of a spouse to the other spouse for the support of the children of the marriage where custody resides with that spouse. [Formerly § 12-1278.] §43-121.
Alimony Payments - Termination - Payment pertaining to support and division of property - Cohabitation by former spouse:
A. In any divorce decree which provides for periodic alimony payments, the court shall plainly state, at the time of entering the original decree, the dollar amount of all or a portion of each payment which is designated as support and the dollar amount of all or a portion of the payment which is a payment pertaining to a division of property. The court shall specify in the decree that the payments pertaining to a division of property shall continue until completed. Payments pertaining to a division of property are irrevocable and not subject to subsequent modification by the court making the award. An order for the payment of money pursuant to a divorce decree, whether designated as support or designated as pertaining to a division of property shall not be a lien against the real property of the person ordered to make such payments unless the court order specifically provides for a lien on real property. An arrearage in payments of support reduced to a judgment may be a lien against the real property of the person ordered to make such payments.
B. The court shall also provide in the divorce decree that upon the death or remarriage of the recipient, the payments for support, if not already accrued, shall terminate. The court shall order the judgment for the payment of support to be terminated, and the lien released upon the presentation of proper proof of death of the recipient unless a proper claim is made for any amount of past-due support payments by an executor, administrator, or heir within ninety (90) days from the date of death of the recipient. Upon proper application the court shall order payment of support terminated and the lien discharged after remarriage of the recipient, unless the recipient can make a proper showing that some amount of support is still needed and that circumstances have not rendered payment of the same inequitable, provided the recipient commences an action for such determination, within ninety (90) days of the date of such remarriage. [§ 12-1289. Renumbered] §43-134.
Relations cannot be altered by contract - Separation agreements:
A husband and wife cannot, by any contract with each other, alter their legal relations, except as to property, and except that they may agree in writing to an immediate separation, and may make provision for the support of either of them and of their children during such separation. § 43-205.
Parties in contemplation of a divorce are free to contract for disposition of their property and for alimony as support. Likewise, the trial court may at its discretion incorporate the agreement of the parties into the divorce decree. Miller v. Miller, Okla., 456 P.2d 113 (1969).
This Court has on more than one occasion said that a waiver occurs where there is a voluntary and intentional relinquishment of a known right. Archer v. Wedderien, Okla., 446 P.2d 43 (1968); Kirtley v. Kirtley, Okla., 301 P.2d 671 (1956). Furthermore, a right may be waived whether conferred by law or contract. Whitmire v. Zolbe, Okla., 403 P.2d 445 (1965). This Court has held that a statutory requirement imposed on the trial court as to the manner in which the property of the parties to a divorce will be divided may be waived. Mills v. Mills, Okla., 512 P.2d 143 (1973).
A husband and wife may, in contemplation of a divorce, enter into an agreement concerning the termination of alimony for support, and, if that agreement is subsequently incorporated into the divorce decree, they waive those rights granted them under 12 O.S. 1971 § 1289 [12-1289](b) (Renumbered as § 134[43-134] of Title 43), which are inconsistent with the terms of the decree. Clifton v. Clifton, 1990 OK 88, 801 P.2d 693.
In the absence of fraud, a property settlement award, as opposed to an award for support alimony, cannot be modified in a post-decretal hearing. Property division provisions stand inviolate by actions of the divorced parties unless they act to vacate, set aside, or modify the decree in a manner authorized by statute. Clifton v. Clifton, 1990 OK 88, 801 P.2d 693
