your divorce or paternity case is a public record!

I want to be sure you are aware your Divorce or Child Custody case appears online in Oklahoma.  The Oklahoma Supreme Court Network (www.oscn.net) maintains a website with public information about all Divorce and Paternity cases filed in Oklahoma. Many counties scan pleadings and orders, so anyone with internet and a device can read most of the documents filed in your case.  Children should not be reading the documents from your case file, so if your child is computer savvy and curious this could be an issue. Some courts are reluctant to seal cases; however, there is a legal procedure to seal your court documents from public online view.  ​In contrast, Guardianships and Adoptions are automatically sealed and are not public record.
