Okla. Stat. tit. 30, § 30-3-308: Jurisdictional requirements for appointing a guardian or

issuing a protective order.

A court of this state has jurisdiction to appoint a guardian or

issue a protective order for a respondent if:

(1) This state is the respondent’s home state;

(2) On the date the petition is filed, this state is a

significant-connection state and:

(A) the respondent does not have a home state or a court

of the respondent’s home state has declined to

exercise jurisdiction because this state is a more

appropriate forum, or

(B) the respondent has a home state, a petition for an

appointment or order is not pending in a court of that

state or another significant-connection state, and,

before the court makes the appointment or issues the

order:

(i) a petition for an appointment or order is not

filed in the respondent’s home state,

(ii) an objection to the court’s jurisdiction is not

filed by a person required to be notified of the

proceeding, and

(iii) the court in this state concludes that it is an

appropriate forum under the factors set forth in

Section 11 of this act;

(3) This state does not have jurisdiction under either

paragraph (1) or (2) of this subsection, the respondent’s home state

and all significant-connection states have declined to exercise

jurisdiction because this state is the more appropriate forum, and

jurisdiction in this state is consistent with the constitutions of

this state and the United States; or

(4) The requirements for special jurisdiction under Section 9

of this act are met.
