Randlett, OK asked in Divorce, Family Law and Child Custody for Oklahoma

Q: What rights do I have in Oklahoma if the terminated parental rights parent comes to our house or school?

We live in Oklahoma. Our divorce was filed in Texas. The termination of parental rights were also filed in Texas. The father is currently in prison, but up for parole soon. What rights do we have if he comes to our house or my son's school?

1 Lawyer Answer

A: If he does appear, you can file in your local court for a Protective Order to prohibit his coming around, or contacting your child. It would be a good idea to write him before his release, and remind him of termination of his rights, and that he is prohibited by law from contact with the child, and that the same would be a violation of his parole conditions.

Good Luck.
