Fathers’ rights in Oklahoma City are not immune from the state’s paternity laws that put dads at a disadvantage.
Similar to other states’ lack of fathers rights, dads rights in Oklahoma City are nonexistent if a child is born out of wedlock.
A dad has no legal rights to his child in terms of child custody or visitation without a court order whereas the mother is automatically given rights regarding custody and visitation.
Some have said dads’ rights in Oklahoma City are upheld by a statute that allows the court to include visitation provisions in a child support order if the court determines the noncustodial parent has been denied reasonable visitation.
Though this “fathers’ rights” law became effective more than 25 years ago, it is not known how often it is used because no cases have cited it to date.
The best course of action to ensure your rights as a dad are protected is to consult with the divorce lawyers for men at Cordell and Cordell – a partner men can count on.
