In Oklahoma, joint custody or shared parenting allows parents to share time and responsibilities related to their children. Courts often award joint custody to parents, allowing them to work out schedules and plans together without significant time and money spent on litigation. This policy ensures that both parents contribute to the child support obligations, irrespective of the custody arrangement.
To effectuate this policy, the court may provide substantially equal access to minor children to both parents at a temporary order hearing, unless the child’s father is married. Shared custody or joint legal custody may also be granted where appropriate.
Oklahoma laws treat child custody differently when parents have never been married. Paternity can be established through a court process, signing an acknowledgment of paternity, or because the child has shown the ability to act in the best interest of the child.
There are different types of child custody in Oklahoma, including joint, sole, and split custody. When facing a child custody battle in 2024, it is essential to be aware of these laws to navigate the legal process and protect your rights. Fathers and mothers have equal legal rights to pursue child custody of their minor children in Oklahoma, and it is improper for a judge to award sole custody or joint custody.
