Oklahoma law presumes that custodial parents have a right to relocate with their minor children, unless the children's welfare is at risk.

Oklahoma law is very clear, if you're not married to the mother, you have no custody rights until you establish them at court. In other words, what the mother says goes, there are no exceptions. So if you want visitation time, then it's up to mom.
