Okla. Stat. tit. 43, § 43-110.1: Shared parenting - Policy

It is the policy of this state to assure that minor children

have frequent and continuing contact with parents who have shown the

ability to act in the best interests of their children and to

encourage parents to share in the rights and responsibilities of

rearing their children after the parents have separated or dissolved

their marriage. The court may consider evidence of the ability of

the parents to cooperate on issues related to their minor children,

as well as evidence of domestic violence, stalking, or harassment as

defined in Section 109 of this title. To effectuate this policy, if

requested by a parent, the court may provide substantially equal

access to the minor children to both parents at a temporary order or

final hearing, unless the court finds that shared parenting would be

detrimental to the child. The court shall issue findings of fact

and conclusions of law to support its decision after a final hearing

on the merits.
