You should go online and google divorce papers or forms in Oklahoma.  You will get a good amount of hits for free website that will give you the correct form for Answering the Petition.  You will also be able to locate the divorce laws for the state for reference.   Typically you must deny or admit allegations made in a Petition or Complaint and it can be dangerous if you do not.  You can do what is known as a General Denial of the allegations, which may be best until you get an attorney and he or she can Amend your Answer.  Look for examples at divorcelawinfo.com or divorcesource.com or edivorcepapers.com and look for Oklahoma.  Sending to the Court and the Petitioner's attorney by certified mail.
