Oklahoma Child Custody
In an action for divorce where there are minor children involved, the court shall not issue a final order until at least ninety days from the date of filing the petition, although this may be waived. Further, during this ninety day period the court may require the parties attend and complete a parenting educational program.
Decisions need to be made concerning the child's physical custody and legal custody. Joint legal custody provides each parent with the right to be involved in the important decisions concerning the child's important developmental issues. The court will approve parental decisions concerning their children, so long as those decisions appear to be in the children's best interest.
Child Support
Oklahoma has adopted child support guidelines which apply in virtually every case, unless special circumstances are present. The child support calculation takes into consideration the gross income of both parties, and certain child related expenses. Child support will continue until the child reaches the age of majority, and may be extended through his or her secondary education.
Venue
An action for divorce may be filed in the county in which the plaintiff has been a resident for the thirty days immediately preceding the filing of the petition, or in the county where the defendant is a resident.
Mediation
The parties may agree to submit any or all of their disputed issues to mediation, before or after a divorce is initiated. The agreements reached in mediation may allow the parties to proceed in court on an uncontested basis.
