Under the Oklahoma constitution, parents have the right to decide who their children are going to be around and unless a court tells them otherwise, they’re perfectly free to deny contact with the grandparent even when the child has a good relationship with that grandparent. Now, under Oklahoma law, if a parent is making that decision and you can satisfy several other requirements, the court might issue an order that can establish grandparents’ rights, but in the absence of such an order, that parent is going to be free to deny contact with anyone the parent wants to trial to avoid.
