Understanding Custody in Oklahoma
Oklahoma courts encourage solutions that involve both parents, but the guiding principle is always the best interests of the child. Custody can be structured as sole, joint legal, or joint physical custody.
How Custody is Decided
If parents agree, they may present a parenting plan to the court. If not, the court will decide based on the child's needs, each parent's ability to meet them, and the home environment.
What Happens During the Custody Process
Navigating a custody case involves an initial consultation, filing the petition, discovery, mediation, and a court hearing if needed.
What Makes a Parent Unfit?
A parent may be deemed unfit if they cannot meet a child's basic needs or present a risk to the child's safety, such as through neglect, abuse, or substance addiction.
