Understanding the Types of Custody in Norman, Oklahoma

Child custody in Oklahoma, OK, generally refers to both physical and legal custody.

    Drew was a knowledgeable, empathetic, and calming presence during the most difficult season of my life. He helped me navigate through a divorce process that took nearly a year and a half.
