Child custody matters are often contentious. Even when both parents want what is best for their child, emotions can run high and legal disputes can quickly follow. The dedicated attorneys at LaCourse Law help families navigate common custody issues in Tulsa guided by a deep commitment to doing what is right for the child(ren).
We know how stressful it can be to make significant parenting decisions under pressure. This is especially true when communication and collaboration with your co-parent are strained. This is why we aim to provide legal guidance on custody issues that prioritizes your child(ren)’s stability and well-being. Whether you are going through a divorce or adjusting an existing agreement, understanding these challenges can help you prepare and protect yourself as a parent or guardian.
Typical custody issues in Tulsa may mirror those across the country, but there are also unique local issues. For example, some parents and guardians face issues with how frequent job relocations in the oil and tech industries affect parenting plans. These moves can complicate existing parenting schedules. As a result, court approval may be required if they impact a child’s time with a parent or guardian.
One parent or guardian may want sole legal and physical custody while the other seeks joint custody, leading to courtroom battles.
Creating a schedule that works for both parents or guardians, especially if they have different work hours or live far apart, can be complicated.
If a parent or guardian wants to move out of Tulsa, or even Oklahoma altogether, it may impact the parenting time of the other parent.
A new job, an ex-partner getting married again, or a change in income may require a child custody modification.
If a parent struggles with substance abuse, has a history of domestic violence, or does not have stable housing, custody may need to be reevaluated.
In some custody cases, a parent may try to damage the child’s relationship with the other parent or a guardian, whether purposeful or not.
When parents and guardians decide to share legal custody but have different beliefs or priorities, conflicts can arise over major life decisions for the child.
A parent or guardian may not comply with the custody or visitation schedule, leading to legal consequences ordered by the court.
