Types of Family Court Records for Edmond

The Oklahoma County District Court handles all family law matters for Edmond residents. Divorce (dissolution of marriage) is the most common type of family case. The file includes the petition, summons, response, financial disclosures, and the final decree. Under Title 43 of the Oklahoma Statutes, both fault and no-fault grounds exist for divorce. Oklahoma also imposes a six-month ban on remarriage after a divorce, except to the former spouse.

Child custody and child support cases are handled here too. These can be part of a divorce or filed on their own. Paternity suits establish legal fatherhood and often include support orders. Under 43 O.S. §§ 118-118I, child support is calculated using both parents' incomes, the number of overnights, childcare costs, and medical expenses. Support lasts until age 18 or high school graduation, whichever is later, but not past 20. The Oklahoma DHS Child Support Services office can help establish, enforce, and modify support orders.

Protective orders, guardianship cases, and termination of parental rights filings are also on record at the Oklahoma County Court Clerk's office. Forms for all family case types are available through the OSCN Forms Library or Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma. The Legal Aid hotline is 888-534-5243, open Monday through Thursday, 9 AM to noon and 1 PM to 4 PM.

Before records can be destroyed, they must be stored on at least two separate media.
