Deprived Child Case: Reuniting a Father with His Children After Years Apart

A father contacted our office after years without contact with his children. Oklahoma DHS had removed them from their mother’s care following substantiated reports of abuse and neglect.

Legal Strategy

We immediately intervened in the deprived-child proceeding, filed appearances, and worked closely with DHS caseworkers to verify our client’s fitness and home stability. Our team fast-tracked background checks and court evaluations to reunite the family.

Challenges

Because of the long separation, the client faced procedural delays and skepticism from the state. We had to demonstrate that he had maintained financial stability and a safe home environment despite years without contact.
