OFR intends to enhance legal advocacy, preserve families, educate and engage our communities, and instill a collaborative culture.
Elliott and Tecoria of Community In-Site talk to Gwen Clegg about Oklahoma’s new statewide Office of Family Representation.
The Oklahoma Office of Family Representation (OFR) is the state’s inaugural central office dedicated to ensuring all children and qualified parents, legal guardians, and Indian custodians receive attorneys prepared to deliver uniform and high-quality legal representation in deprived child actions brought by the state pursuant to Title 10A.
Passed into law in 2023, the Family Representation Advocacy Act, 10 O.S. § 801 et seq., established the Family Representation Advocacy Program within the Administrative Office of the Courts and the AOC has contracted with Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma to bring the OFR to life.

OFR will be implemented throughout the state of Oklahoma over the course of three years. Oklahoma Human Services has divided the state into five regions. Subject to sufficient appropriations, Regions 2 and 5 will be operational July 1, 2024 and Regions 1, 3, and 4, will be operational July 1, 2025.
An operational region will have sufficient attorney and IDT contractors to advocate for all children and qualified parents, legal guardians, and Indian custodians in all counties within that region.
To learn more, please review this presentation.
The OFR will implement Interdisciplinary Teams (IDT) statewide for qualified children, parents, legal guardians, and Indian custodians. IDT integrates social workers and mentors into the legal work to accomplish client goals.
