Understanding Oklahoma's New Military Child Custody Law
Oklahoma has recently passed legislation that protects the rights of military service members in child custody and visitation cases. Under the new law:
- Deployed parents can appear in court using teleconferencing software.
- Deployed parents can designate another family member to receive the visitation the service member would have received if he or she had not been deployed. This can help families stay connected during a long deployment.
- A non-military spouse cannot use deployment as grounds for modifying child custody.
Whether you are going through a military divorce or a separate child custody action, we can help you ensure that you understand your rights under the new military child custody law. Our family law attorneys also help service members and civilians enforce and modify child custody and visitation orders.
