Understanding Your Rights as a Non-Custodial Parent
Hi, I’m Clint Hastings, a Tulsa Dads.Law attorney here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As a non-custodial parent in Oklahoma, you are entitled to access many of the same records and information as the custodial parent. This includes school records, medical records, and more. However, it is important to note that you must actively request this information in order to receive it.
Once you make a request for access to records, the custodial parent is obligated to provide them to you. If they believe that providing you with access is not in the child’s best interest, they must prove this to the court in order to restrict your access.
Exceptions and Limitations to Access
There are some exceptions to the rule of equal access to records for non-custodial parents. For example, if the custodial parent believes that granting you access could harm the child or disrupt the co-parenting relationship, they may request restrictions through the court.
It’s important to understand your rights as a non-custodial parent and to advocate for your access to important information about your child’s education, health, and well-being. If you’re facing challenges in accessing these records, it may be time to seek legal guidance.
