HB 2707 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Marriage; authorizing courts to order additional periods of possession or access to a child under certain circumstances; effective date.

This Oklahoma bill requires courts to grant additional visitation time when a Department of Human Services (DHS) investigation (without finding abuse or neglect) denies court-ordered access to a child. The extra time must match the original denied schedule (e.g., weekends or holidays) and occur within two years of the court’s finding. Parents directly affected by such denied access get to choose the timing of the additional visits. The law explicitly states this does not create legal claims against DHS.
