How Do Sole Custody and Joint Custody Differ?


In the heart of Oklahoma, the distinction between sole custody and joint custody carries immense weight in the lives of parents and their children. Sole custody empowers the designated parent to make crucial life decisions for their child – choices that can shape their educational journey, healthcare, and overall well-being. However, this responsibility isn't wielded in isolation; it comes with the duty to consult the other parent before pivotal decisions are made. In Oklahoma, the law recognizes the fundamental right of the non-custodial parent to access essential child-related information, from academic records to medical updates, ensuring that both parents remain connected to their child's life.

On the other hand, joint custody paints a different picture. Here, both parents stand on equal ground, each having a say in decisions that hold the key to their child's future and best interests. When conflicts inevitably arise, there are avenues to seek resolution. Mediators and parenting coordinators can step in to facilitate discussions and find common ground. And when all else fails, the courtroom becomes the arena where a judge will render a verdict that serves the child's welfare.

At Ball Morse Lowe, we're acutely aware of the emotional turmoil that accompanies child custody cases. We've stood beside countless clients, guiding them through this challenging journey. Our team is not just experienced; we're passionate about advocating for your rights and your children's well-being. In these crucial moments, you don't have to face it alone. We're here to stand by your side, to fight for what matters most, and to ensure that your child's future remains bright and secure.

Oklahoma Child Custody FAQs

  • What Types of Child Custody Are Recognized in Oklahoma?
    • In Oklahoma, the primary types of child custody are legal and physical. Legal custody relates to decision-making authority regarding the child's upbringing, including education and healthcare. Physical custody refers to where the child resides.
  • How Is Child Custody Determined in Oklahoma?
    • The court considers the child's best interests when determining custody arrangements. Factors such as each parent's ability to provide a stable environment, their willingness to support the child's relationship with the other parent, and their own preferences (if they are of sufficient age and maturity) may be considered.
  • Can Joint Custody Be Granted in Oklahoma?
    • Oklahoma recognizes joint custody arrangements where both parents share legal and/or physical custody. Joint custody can be legal, physical, or both, depending on the circumstances.
  • Can Child Custody Orders Be Modified?
    • Child custody orders can be modified in Oklahoma, but there must be a substantial change in circumstances to warrant a modification. This change could relate to a parent's relocation, a change in the child's needs, or other relevant factors.
  • What Is the Role of a Mediator in Child Custody Cases?
    • A mediator helps parents agree on custody and visitation issues outside of court. Mediation can be a helpful alternative to litigation, allowing parents to work together to find solutions in the child's best interests.

Please note that family law matters can be complex and vary depending on the specific circumstances of each case. It's advisable to consult with an experienced family law attorney in Oklahoma to get personalized guidance and answers to your specific questions about child custody.

Jon Dean Green

★★★★★

I turned to Ball Morse Lowe PLCC when I needed my mother's estate probated in Oklahoma. It involved mineral rights and I live in California and my mother had not lived in OK for over 60 years. I wanted a firm that would do this correctly and be reasonable in cost. Brian Hill was a pleasure to work with. He and his staff were professional, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. They made the experience of probate painless, explained things as we went along, and were clear in their expectation of what they would need from me to move the process forward. I am so glad I found them and appreciate deeply all they accomplished on my behalf.
