“" Phillips v. Phillips (Okl., 556 P.2d 607 (1976)) is a case factually similar to the case at bar. There we said: `In McCoy v. McCoy, Okl., 429 P.2d 999 (1967) this court said the trial court was vested with wide discretion. It should consider the parties, and all of the circumstances in the case, including the means and property of the respective parties under the property division. Before such an order will be reversed, it must clearly appear that the trial court abused its discretion.'"”
