In Oklahoma, a Petition to Modify or Amend Divorce Decree Stopping Child Support on the Grounds that Respondent Interfered with Visitation Rights and Child is Now an Adult can be a complex legal process. This petition specifically addresses situations where the non-custodial parent believes that their former spouse has actively interfered with their visitation rights and their child has now reached the age of adulthood. In such cases, the petitioner seeks to modify or amend the existing divorce decree to cease child support obligations. Types of Oklahoma Petitions to Modify or Amend Divorce Decree Stopping Child Support on the Grounds that Respondent Interfered with Visitation Rights and Child is Now an Adult: 1. Petition to Modify or Amend Divorce Decree: This is the primary type of petition in which the non-custodial parent requests a modification or amendment to the existing divorce decree. The purpose is to seek relief from child support obligations due to the respondent's interference with visitation rights and the fact that the child has now reached adulthood. 2. Petition for Contempt: In situations where the respondent consistently and willfully violates the visitation rights specified in the divorce decree, the non-custodial parent may choose to file a petition for contempt. This petition aims to hold the respondent accountable for their actions and to enforce the visitation rights set forth by the court. 3. Petition for Suspension or Termination of Child Support: If the non-custodial parent can provide evidence of significant interference with their visitation rights by the respondent, they may file a petition to suspend or terminate child support. This type of petition acknowledges that the child has reached the age of legal adulthood and is no longer financially dependent on either parent. 4. Petition for Modification of Parenting Plan: In some cases, the non-custodial parent may also decide to file a petition to modify the existing parenting plan. This petition seeks to address the interference with visitation rights and request a revised parenting plan that reflects the current circumstances now that the child is an adult. When filing any of these petitions in Oklahoma, it is crucial to gather sufficient evidence to support the claims of interference with visitation rights by the respondent. This evidence may include communication records, witness testimonies, or any documented instances where the respondent deliberately obstructed or limited the non-custodial parent's visitation time. Legal representation is highly recommended ensuring a thorough and effective presentation of the case before the court.
