    The Family Representation Advocacy Act enacted into law on June 2, 2023, established the Family Representation Advocacy Program (FRAP) within the Administrative Office of the Courts. The purpose of the FRAP is to ensure uniform and high quality legal representation for children and indigent parents, legal guardians and Indian custodians in deprived child actions brought by the state pursuant to the provisions of Section 1-1-101 et seq. of Title 10A of the Oklahoma Statutes.

    The FRAP will ensure that all parents, legal guardians, and Indian custodians who are entitled to court-appointed counsel and all children are appointed counsel who have training, support and access to resources to provide uniform and high quality legal representation.
