The Department of Human Services (DHS) and Oklahoma courts have the power to immediately remove children from homes when it has credible evidence of the child being neglected or abused. When the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (DHS) files allegations against you, the consequences could range from requiring supervised visitation to the termination of your parental rights. This is an incredibly frightening process for parents. DHS holds almost all of the cards in these situations.
