State supervised visitation program for families

Beginning November 1, 2026, Oklahoma creates a Child Supervised Visitation Program. It makes a child’s safety the top priority when a court orders supervised visits. Supervised visitation means a trained, court‑approved third person observes the visit between the noncustodial parent and the child. Location sites may charge a per‑visit fee. Courts, parents, guardians, and visitation providers must follow these rules.

Supervised visits after child sexual abuse finding

Beginning November 1, 2026, courts must require supervised visits when they order visitation for a person with a Department of Human Services (DHS) referral that has substantiated child sexual‑abuse findings. This limits unsupervised contact for that person. It adds safety protections for the child and the custodial parent. Courts and visitation providers must follow this rule.
