OKLAHOMA Part 46

What if one parent wants to move with the child?

This has been one of the most controversial and contentious areas in domestic relations. In our increasingly mobile society, the chance that a bi-nuclear family will face this dilemma becomes more likely. The one sure result of a parent relocating some distance from the other is that the children will have much less physical contact with the distant parent.

In 2002, the Oklahoma legislature passed a relocation statute providing that a moving parent or custodian must notify the other parent or custodian of an intended move of more than 75 miles approximately two months before the move, or within ten days of learning of the move. The notice must include a number of things, including the moving parent's new address and phone number, when the move will happen, why the mover is moving, and a proposed schedule for sharing time with the children after the move
