Okla. Stat. tit. 10A, § 10A-2-2-501: Dispositional hearings

A. No later than forty (40) days after making an order of

adjudication, the court shall hold a dispositional hearing, at which

all evidence helpful in determining the proper disposition best

serving the interest of the child and the public, including but not

limited to oral and written reports, may be admitted and may be

relied upon to the extent of its probative value, even though not

competent for the purposes of the adjudicatory hearing.

B. Before making an order of disposition, the court shall

advise the district attorney, the attorney of the child, the

parents, guardian, custodian or responsible relative, and their

counsel, of the factual contents and the conclusion of reports

prepared for the use of the court and considered by it, and afford

fair opportunity, if requested, to controvert them. An order of

disposition shall include a specific finding and order of the court

relative to the liability and accountability of the parents for the

care and maintenance of the child as authorized by Section 2-2-703

of this title, unless custody is placed with the parent or parents

of the child.

C. On its own motion or that of the district attorney, the

attorney of the child or of the parent, guardian, custodian,

responsible relative or counsel, the court may adjourn the hearing

for a reasonable period to receive reports or other evidence and, in

such event, shall make an appropriate order for detention of the

child, or release of the child from detention subject to supervision

by the court, during the period of the continuance.

D. In scheduling investigations and hearings, the court shall

give priority to proceedings in which a child is in detention, or

has otherwise been removed from his or her home, before an order of

disposition has been made.
