Q: How does child support and visitations work in Oklahoma?
My husband has a child with another woman and she is filing for child support. However, the name is incorrect that she used for him and she stated she tried to go to court for it but my husband never recieved the court order. Also, he wanted visitation rights and there was a verbal agreement but nothing came of it. The office of child support has not counted the stimulus check going to her or the money coming out of his check and his overall balance has stayed the same. My husband is just frustrated that he hasn't seen his daughter in 3 years and we just need to find legal help and possibly go to court for visitations. Any advice or help could be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
A: To get visitation all he needs to do is hire an attorney to file an action in the district court. A hearing will be set and the court can order visitation based upon what the court believes is in the best interest of the child.
