Child Custody

Father Protected After Out-of-State Child Relocation

Representing the father in an Oklahoma custody case, Jeff Bacon obtained a temporary court order restraining the mother from relocating the child out of state. After hearing testimony, the Court found that the proposed relocation was not made in good faith, denied the request to relocate, and ordered the child returned to Oklahoma by a specific deadline.

Father Prevails After Child Withheld Over Abuse Claims

Representing the father in a high-conflict custody case involving allegations of domestic violence, substance abuse, and protective orders, Jeff Bacon negotiated an Agreed Temporary Order that allowed the father to resume unsupervised parenting time every other weekend after more than three months without unsupervised contact with his child.

Results depend on the specific facts and circumstances of each case.

Child Support

Father’s Visitation Restored, Support Contempt Resolved

Jeff Bacon negotiated a transition from limited therapeutic visitation to supervised parenting time, allowing the father to resume regular contact with his children.

Guardianship

Oklahoma Father Reunites With Child After Years Apart

In a contested Oklahoma guardianship matter, Jeff Bacon represented a father who had been separated from his child for more than a decade after the child was moved out of state by his mother at a young age and later brought to Oklahoma. When a third party eventually filed for guardianship, the father was formally served and asserted his parental rights. Through advocacy and negotiation, the matter was resolved with the father appointed as co-guardian, resulting in the child transitioning into the father’s care. After years without contact, the father was able to reunite with his child, provide stability, and support the child through high school and preparation for college. Results depend on the specific facts and circumstances of each case.

Paternity

Oklahoma Father Prevails at Contested Temporary Order Hearing

Representing the father in a contested paternity and custody case, Jeff Bacon successfully litigated a temporary order hearing involving competing requests for custody and parenting time. The father sought joint custody and substantially equal parenting time, while the mother requested sole custody with limited visitation.

Results depend on the specific facts and circumstances of each case.

Protective Order Defense

Protective Orders Defeated; Father’s Visitation Enforced

Jeff Bacon represented a father in a high-conflict custody matter involving multiple protective order filings. After a contested hearing, the Court denied the protective order request.

Results depend on the specific facts and circumstances of each case.

Protective Order Denied

In a contested protective order proceeding, Jeff Bacon represented a previous client at a full in-person evidentiary hearing.
