HB2392

Oklahoma HB2392 establishes a presumption of unfitness for parents in certain circumstances when awarding custody or guardianship of a child.

Oklahoma HB2392 amends custody or guardianship provisions to establish a rebuttable presumption that a parent is unfit if they meet specific criteria. This includes being subject to sex offender registration, convicted of certain crimes, or residing with someone convicted of certain offenses. The presumption applies unless the nonparent proves by clear and convincing evidence that the child would be better off with the parent. The bill also outlines conditions under which custody or guardianship may be awarded, including to parents, grandparents, relatives, or others.
