Can my husband and I share our responsibilities in rearing our kid after divorce?
Full Question:
I live in Oklahoma and am likely to get divorced from my husband in near future. We both are fond of our child, who is a minor and like to share our responsibilities in rearing our kid. Is there any provision in Oklahoma law that provides the same?

Answer:
“It is the policy of this state to assure that minor children have frequent and continuing contact with parents who have shown the ability to act in the best interests of their children and to encourage parents to share in the rights and responsibilities of rearing their children after the parents have separated or dissolved their marriage, provided that the parents agree to cooperate and that domestic violence, stalking, or harassing behaviors as defined in Section 109 of this title are not present in the parental relationship. To effectuate this policy, if requested by a parent, the court may provide substantially equal access to the minor children to both parents at a temporary order hearing, unless the court finds that shared parenting would be detrimental to the child.”
