Father’s Rights Include Access to School Records

Hi, I’m father’s rights attorney Clint Hastings of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Guys, you still get to go to school meetings, whether or not she has sole custody or not doesn’t matter. If you have joint custody, especially, you can, of course. But you can call and request a student-teacher-parent meeting for your child and get updated if there’s an IEP or anything else. If you have joint custody and you need a separate time to come in, teachers will accommodate that and you have the right to do that. So don’t feel pushed out of your child’s school records and information and meetings with teachers.

Now, that goes for school attendance records or any other records. Whether or not you have joint custody or not, you still have, under Oklahoma law, you are entitled to those records. So don’t feel like, I have clients that come to me and for years they have not participated in any way nor gotten any records because they assume they can’t. And sometimes it’s because a prior attorney did not tell them that they had it. And sometimes it’s because they did a pro se divorce and did not realize that they had that because no attorney advised them. It is not always in court orders. It is statutory law.
