Understanding Court Orders in Custodial Cases
Hello, I’m Oklahoma City child custody attorney Dillan Savage of Wirth Law Office, and I practice primarily in the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma area. Today, we are going to be talking about the power of Oklahoma courts to order individual parties or parties and minor children to appear in court in Oklahoma.
The courts of Oklahoma can order individual parties and a minor child or minor children to appear in court if those parties live in the state of Oklahoma or even outside of the state. Additionally, Oklahoma courts have the authority to enforce any orders necessary to ensure the safety of a minor child or minor children.
The Process of Court Appearance Orders
In cases where the Oklahoma courts require a party and/or a minor child to appear, the court may also award travel and expense fees to the requesting party. For instance, if the opposing party requests that the court require you to appear with your minor child, the court has the discretion to compensate that party for their travel expenses.
However, this is not a guaranteed outcome. Such reimbursement must be requested and will depend on the specific circumstances of each case, leaving the final decision to the court’s discretion. Overall, it’s crucial to understand that Oklahoma courts have the power to compel the appearance of individuals both within the state and outside, with a focus on protecting the best interests of minor children.
