SB1580

Oklahoma SB1580 establishes a rebuttable presumption of joint child custody in custody disputes.

Oklahoma SB1580 amends state statutes to create a rebuttable presumption of joint child custody in custody disputes. The court must consider frequent and continuing contact with both parents when awarding custody. The bill also establishes a rebuttable presumption of sole custody if a parent is a perpetrator of child abuse, domestic violence, harassment, or stalking. Parents must submit a joint plan for the exercise of joint care, custody, and control of their child, including provisions for full-time attendance at school and living arrangements.
