How Child Custody Is Determined in Oklahoma

In Oklahoma, the standard a court uses to determine child custody is complex: What is in the best interests of the child? However, the court will look at a number of factors to determine custody, including, but not limited to:

• Moral, physical and emotional well-being of the child
• Child abuse, domestic violence or drug abuse
• Which parent is most likely to grant frequent visitation to the other parent

It is important to remember that, in Oklahoma, both parents start on equal ground. There is no presumption that the child would be better off with the mother or that sole custody is better than joint legal custody. Our child custody attorneys help you work for custody and visitation schedules that meet your and your child’s needs.

Cases Involving Military Service Members

In cases where the parent with custody is a military member, accommodations can be granted. If the parent with custody is sent on a tour of duty or overseas for military service, a court cannot enter a final order until the tour is complete. However, a parent in the military can give permission to the court to make a ruling while they are on duty

Modification of Custody or Visitation

Child custody and visitation agreements can be modified if there has been permanent, material and continuing change in circumstances. For example, a pattern of failure to comply with court-ordered visitation might be grounds to modify a custody agreement. Our child custody lawyers work with you to change custody or visitation to accommodate your new circumstances.
