Stat. tit. 43, § 43-140","heading":"Problem-solving court program - Participation by obligors","body":"of state child support plan.\n\nA. In cases in which child support services under the state\n\nchild support plan as provided in Section 237 of Title 56 of the\n\nOklahoma Statutes are being provided for the benefit of the child,\n\nthe administrative or district court may order the obligor to\n\nparticipate in the problem-solving court program of the Department\n\nof Human Services. The problem-solving court program is an\n\nimmediate and highly structured judicial intervention process for\n\nthe obligor and requires completion of a participation agreement by\n\nthe obligor and monitoring by the court. A problem-solving court\n\nprogram differs in practice and design from the traditional\n\nadversarial prosecution and trial systems. The problem-solving\n\ncourt program uses a team approach administered by the judge in\n\ncooperation with a child support state’s attorney and a child\n\nsupport court liaison who focuses on removing the obstacles causing\n\nthe nonpayment of the obligor. The obligors in this program shall\n\nbe required to sign an agreement to participate in this program.\n\nThe court liaisons assess the needs of the obligor, develop a\n\ncommunity referral network, make referrals, monitor the compliance\n\nof the obligor in the program, and provide status reports to the\n\ncourt.\n\nB. Participation in the problem-solving court program shall not\n\nact as a stay of federally mandated automated enforcement remedies.\n\nThe child support obligation of the obligor shall not be suspended\n\nor abated during participation in the program.","path":["OK Code","Title 43"],"source_url":"https://www.oklegislature.gov/OK_Statutes/CompleteTitles/os43.pdf","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:36Z","sha256":"27c40f06add88071cc01ddafcc0b72fdd0fc17a593d684d4f7b00b9ec421e244","source_id":"us-ok","stale":false,"prev":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-43-43-14","next":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-43-43-15"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
