Okla. Stat. tit. 30, § 30-2-106: Appointment of parents as guardians

A minor's parent who is competent to transact his or her own

business and not otherwise unsuitable or disqualified by law to

serve as the guardian of said minor, shall be entitled to the

guardianship of the minor until the minor has attained the age of

fourteen (14) years. The parent petitioning the court for

appointment as guardian of the minor must have the endorsement or

nomination of the other parent, if the natural parents of the minor

are married and living together. In cases where both parents are

separately seeking appointment as guardian of the minor, the court

may, upon full investigation, appoint the parent who in the judgment

of the court is the most competent to look after the interest of

said minor.
