Oklahoma Advisory Guidelines: Fathers’ rights in visitation
What does Oklahoma Advisory Guidelines on Visitation Schedules say about fathers? I’m Tulsa Attorney James Wirth doing a series of videos related to the advisory guidelines and standard visitation forms as promulgated from the Administrative Director of Courts pursuant to a legislative requirement back in 2004. So what does that say about dads? And just like everything else that we see under the law, when it comes to dads versus moms, the law is neutral.
Sometimes in court cases we can sometimes feel certain judges may have a preference related to moms or otherwise we may see a little bit bias there, but under the law that bias does not exist. So what do these recommended guidelines, advisory guidelines related to visitation say? It says, fathers are just as capable of parenting infants as mothers. It is not the sex of the parent that is the issue, but rather a parent’s desire to be responsibly involved in the care and development of their child.
Understanding Oklahoma Advisory Guidelines on Visitation Schedules
So these guidelines that came out in 2005 have recommendations regarding what visitation schedules may be appropriate based on age and based on other circumstances. They note very clearly that there’s no preference for mom over dad or dad over mom. They should be treated equally. So that’s what the Oklahoma advisory guidelines for visitation schedules say related to dads.
If you are dealing with this circumstance though, you’re gonna wanna talk to a Tulsa child custody attorney privately and confidentially.
