Our Oklahoma City office
Our Oklahoma City office is on the I-35 Service Road on the south side of the metro, minutes from Moore and Norman and a straight run up I-35 to the Oklahoma County Courthouse downtown. Meetings are in person or by phone, and the office handles the same fathers’ rights work as Tulsa: divorce, custody, child support, paternity, visitation, protective orders and DHS/CPS defense.
“Excellent attorney. Very knowledgeable and caring. Settled my case very quickly. Very helpful staff as well. Would recommend to anyone.”
Why Oklahoma City dads call us
Good fathers get sidelined every day in Oklahoma, Cleveland and Canadian County courtrooms, not because the law says so, but because nobody in the room is arguing their side with force. Dads.Law exists to change that for men in the OKC metro.
Dads.Law is the Oklahoma City fathers’ rights firm that helps men protect their parental rights in divorce, custody, child support, paternity, visitation, DHS/CPS and protective-order cases. Jeff Bacon leads the firm, and every case is prepared as if a judge will decide it, because the strongest settlements come from fathers who are ready for trial.
Oklahoma law does not allow a court to favor a parent because of gender. But judges tend to protect the status quo, and the parent who documents, follows orders and shows up prepared usually keeps more time with the kids. Our job is to make sure that parent is you.

Meet the Attorneyswhat to expect
Whether your case is filed in Oklahoma County, Cleveland County or Canadian County, the stages are the same. Knowing them in advance is how fathers avoid the mistakes that cost parenting time.
1.
Filing
Every case starts with a strategy, not just paperwork. Once you sign on, we prepare and file the initial pleadings in the county where the case belongs, and nothing substantive is filed without your approval.
2.
Temporary Orders
This early hearing often decides whether you stay involved or get sidelined for the life of the case. It is your first chance to secure enforceable parenting time, and the orders entered here tend to become the status quo the court protects.
3.
Discovery
Discovery is how we get the full picture before decisions lock in: the evidence the other side will rely on, and the records that support your parenting, your income and your side of the story.
4.
Mediation
Most judges require mediation before trial, and many cases resolve there. Mediation lets a father secure meaningful parenting time without leaving everything to a judge, but only if he walks in prepared.
5.
Trial
If the case does not settle, the judge decides custody, property and support on the evidence presented. Our job is to show, clearly and with documentation, why your proposed outcome serves your children’s best interests.

Straight answers to the questions Oklahoma City dads ask first about custody, support, paternity and family court.
All FAQsFathers in Oklahoma County have the same standing as mothers to seek legal custody, physical custody, and parenting time once paternity is established. Oklahoma courts then decide custody and parenting time based on the child’s best interests, not a preference for either parent.
A father may ask for joint custody, sole custody, or a specific parenting schedule when the facts support it. Oklahoma courts look at the child’s best interests under 43 O.S. § 112. The strongest case shows consistent parenting, safe housing, school involvement, reliable transportation, and a workable exchange plan.
An unmarried father may need to establish legal paternity first. Only then can the court fully order custody and visitation. Oklahoma’s Uniform Parentage Act sets rules for acknowledged, presumed, and adjudicated fathers, including the paternity presumptions in 10 O.S. § 7700-204.
Oklahoma uses statutory child support guidelines based on both parents’ incomes, health insurance, childcare costs, and overnights. Documenting your actual parenting time, including overnight counts, can affect the final support number.
Save messages, keep a calendar of denied exchanges, and talk with a lawyer promptly. Enforcement or emergency relief may be available, and relocation disputes carry strict notice deadlines under Oklahoma law.
