General Info

ABOUT OAR Oklahoma Alternative Resources (OAR) is a 501 (c) organization that is an advocacy for parents with dependent children who are in need of legal assistance for family law related matters. Our organization has implemented a program that both increases access to legal services by the low and middle-income public while providing adequate compensation to participating lawyers. The design of this program is to meet the need for access to the justice system by those of low income, where legal aid and pro bono assistance are not possible and household resources are insufficient to pay prevailing hourly rates. By increasing the quality of legal assistance to these families, we can ensure that the children have the resources they need to live safe, stable and productive lives, the latter being the primary purpose of our organization. ITS ABOUT THE CHILDREN Keeping our children safe and helping them obtain the necessary resources they need to live safe, stable and productive lives is our primary mission here at OAR. By working through the parents of these children, we can help achieve that goal. The decisions that are made as parents carry substantial weight in the lives of these children. Whether a parent is going through a Divorce, Separation, Paternity, Adoption or Child Support case, behind the scenes, there is a child or children bearing the consequences of those decisions. Children have the right to have security, peace and hope in their lives. The attorneys that work with our organization are all licensed attorneys for the State of Oklahoma and are experienced in family law matters. These attorneys have agreed to work at reduced rates to provide access to the legal system to those that would otherwise be without representation. It is through our mutual desire to help families in need, particularly children in abusive situations, that makes our organization a success.
