How Does Guardianship Work in the State of Oklahoma?

Our Norman guardianship lawyers can explain relevant laws and what is involved in the legal process of obtaining guardianship.

Legal guardianship of an adult can be sought when that person is incapable of managing his or her own affairs due to incapacitation from mental illness or retardation, developmental disability, physical illness or disability, or a drug or alcohol dependency.

Guardianship of a child may be necessary when a parent is unfit or unable to provide for the child's physical, emotional, or financial well-being. It empowers the guardian to make legal decisions for the child, including those related to education and health care.

When Guardianship is Needed in Oklahoma?

We are familiar with all the requirements associated with petitioning for guardianships in Oklahoma courts.

Some of the more common situations in which legal guardianship may be necessary and practical to obtain include those involving:

  • Children whose parents are addicted to drugs or alcohol, engaged in criminal or dangerous behavior, or otherwise unfit to provide sufficient care
  • Children of parents who are deceased, incarcerated, or institutionalized
  • Senior citizens who are alone, incapacitated, and incapable of making sound decisions about money or living arrangements and conditions

    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. Nobody wins in a divorce, but I felt that Drew helped me "win" by achieving the best and fairest results possible for my case.
