Custody Modification After Deportation

Summary

If a parent is deported, existing custody orders must be adhered to. Modifying these arrangements may require court intervention, especially if the deportation impacts the current custody order. In Oklahoma, if hiring a private lawyer is not feasible, consider seeking assistance from Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma, pro bono programs through local bar associations, or law school clinics. These resources can provide guidance and support in navigating custody modifications.
