WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS TO SEE YOUR CHILD(REN)?

Your child should have frequent and continuing contact with both parents. If there is an issue of safety during visitation, a parent can ask the Court for supervised visitation. Most counties in Oklahoma have a Standard Visitation Schedule which is supposed to be the minimum amount of visitation.  At the Father's Parental Rights Law Center, we believe and advocate that children should spend equal time with both parents. It is important to keep a record of your visitations with your child(ren) on a calendar. You should also document any visitation that you requested but were denied.

Your ex cannot deny your visitation because child support payments are behind or are not being made.On the other hand, child support payments cannot be withheld because you are being denied visitation.If you already have a Court Order for visitation in your Divorce Decree or Paternity Decree, then you can cite your ex for Contempt of Court for denying your visitation, and you may also file a Motion to Enforce your visitation rights. The Oklahoma law on a Motion to Enforce Visitation is found at 43 O.S. 111.3. If you do not have an existing Court Order, then you will need to file an action in the District Court for Paternity; Divorce; or Legal Separation.If your ex continues to deny your visitation, you may have grounds for a Motion to Modify Custody.43 O.S. 112.  Contact us if you need help enforcing your rights to visit your child(ren).
