    Default Change of Custodial Case Venue Hearing

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Oklahoma. Unwed mother moved to MO 3 years after her son was born, left notice/ tried to contact father of child. He is now serving papers for visitation/joint custody, with stipulation that she cannot live with anybody of the opposite sex. Can the venue be changed as she has lived in Mo for over a year, and her and child are now residents, and is there an unwed mothers law like OK has for MO? Thank you for any answers.

    There are no laws preventing an unwed mother from cohabiting. A parent can REQUEST that such an order be put in place, but this is not likely to be ordered if the parents were never married themselves. And is that truly what Dad is requesting? Because that would mean that she can't live with a brother, uncle, male relative...see what I'm getting at here?

    Assuming Dad is filing in OK, Mom should request a dismissal based upon OK having no jurisdiction. And file herself in MO.

    I do see what you're getting at. The father hasn't had a thing to do with the child since he was born essentially. And it honestly is what he's requesting, the moron. I was aware of this scenario before with a few other couples I associate with, but wasn't sure if there was any law backing such a request. Thank ever so much for giving me something to go on here.
