Child Support
If you have any doubts as to the parentage of the child, it is critical that you ask for a DNA test right away. There are various factors which could cause the court to determine that a man is father of the child including but not limited to signing an affidavit of paternity or the man holding himself out as the father of the child. If a man is 'legally' determined to be the father or if the man has taken certain actions such as holding the child out as his own, the man generally only has until the child's second birthday to prove otherwise. For additional information you can refer to the Oklahoma Uniform Parentage Act at 10 O.S. 7700-101 through 7800. Click here for a direct link to the statute. If the child is determined to be your child, you should begin paying child support as soon as possible. Under Oklahoma law the mother of the child can seek child support, including birthing costs, going back five years from the date of filing. The fact that a man did not know about the child or did not get to visit the child will generally not affect the back child support calculation.
Child Custody and Visitation
In Oklahoma, child custody can always be modified. It can be modified by agreement. Even if the parents do not agree, custody can be modified if certain requirements are met. The requirements depend on what type of custody is currently in place. If the current custody order is for joint custody then custody can be modified if there has been a material change which makes it in the child's best interest for custody to be modified. Sole custody can also be modified, however the parent wishing modification must show a material change of circumstance
