Parents who are involved in a child custody case may wish to appoint someone else to act on their behalf in certain aspects of the cases. To authorize this person, an Oklahoma Special Power of Attorney document (Form 03EN010E) must be completed. This form may be obtained from the Oklahoma Department of Human Services.

Special Power of Attorney 03EN010E Step 3: There are two options from which to choose regarding a representative's powers. Check the box next to the first option if you only wish for your representative to have the authority to obtain information and documents from Oklahoma Child Support Services regarding your case.

Special Power of Attorney 03EN010E Step 4: Check the box next to the second option if you wish to grant your representative the ability to negotiate and settle the argument on your behalf, including the authority to sign agreements and documents on your behalf.
