Okla. Stat. tit. 22, § 22-20: Incarceration of single custodial parents - Child

placement.

When any person is convicted of an offense against the laws of

this state and is sentenced to imprisonment to be served in a county

jail or a state correctional institution, the judge of the district

court shall inquire whether such person is a single custodial parent

of any minor child. If such person is a single custodial parent,

the judge shall inquire into the arrangements that have been made

for the care and custody of the child during the period of

incarceration of the custodial parent. If the judge finds that no

arrangements have been made or such arrangements pose a safety

threat to the child, the court shall make a referral to the

Department of Human Services by contacting the statewide child abuse

and neglect hotline and shall complete a form, which shall be

provided by the Department and approved by the Administrative

Director of the Courts, indicating that the defendant has been

sentenced to incarceration and that the defendant has sole custody

of a minor child or children and has not made appropriate

arrangements for the care of the child or children during the period

of incarceration.
