Description: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma family law divorce lawyers represented the parties seeking a dissolution of their marriage, providing for custody and visitation of their children and child support for the children.
Samantha White (Mother) appeals a trial court order finding Oklahoma has jurisdiction, dissolves the marriage between her and Gregory Jones (Father), and awards the parents joint custody of their two minor children with Father as primary custodian. We conclude jurisdiction in this child custody proceeding is contrary to Oklahoma's Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (OUCCJEA), 43 O.S. 2011 §§ 551-101 et seq. as applied to the record evidence.
Outcome: The dissolution of the marriage is affirmed but in all other respects, the order is reversed.
