OKLAHOMA Part 27

What custody options are there?

There are several forms of custody available under Oklahoma law.

    Joint custody. Parents with joint custody share in all or some of the aspects of physical and legal care, custody, and control of their children. Parents apply to the court for a joint child custody plan. The plan sets forth which decisions concerning the children's upbringing will be shared (and which, if any, will not be shared), and plans for time-sharing. The time-sharing schedule will vary with each family's circumstance. It may look like a standard visitation schedule, share the children's time approximately equally between the parents, or follow an entirely different pattern.
