“I can’t imagine where I would be if I hadn’t hired JP Cannon for my divorce. Life after divorce isn’t easy, but mine is far better than it would have been if I had chosen to give up. You CAN have a better life. Please don’t give up!” – Kenneth B.
As one of Oklahoma’s fastest-growing suburbs, Mustang attracts families looking for good schools, affordable housing, and a quieter lifestyle just outside Oklahoma City. But as the population grows, so do the family law challenges. In communities like Mustang, couples often marry young and build their lives together, which makes legal issues such as divorce complex and emotionally charged as years of shared assets, children, and deep family ties are involved.
In Oklahoma, even seemingly straightforward family law matters can quickly become complicated. Judges have broad discretion in both custody and support decisions, and unlike some other states, Oklahoma doesn’t default to equal parenting time — non-custodial parents receive on average 32% of parenting time unless carefully negotiated. At the same time, child support enforcement is aggressive, with over 166,000 children statewide supported by active orders and strict state collection efforts. Without strong legal representation, it’s easy to end up with custody arrangements or financial obligations that don’t reflect your family’s unique situation. That’s why having an experienced Mustang family law attorney is so important. To protect your rights, advocate for a fair outcome, and help ensure your long-term financial and emotional stability.
You’ve got questions and we’ve got answers, but until we speak please review the following information about family law:

Divorce:
Oklahoma consistently ranks among the states with the highest divorce rates, with 3.8 divorces per 1,000 people, placing it in the top three nationally. In smaller communities like Mustang, many couples marry young, leading to years of shared assets and children that can make property division and child custody especially complex and emotionally charged. Our divorce attorneys guide clients through every step, protecting their rights and working toward fair, financially sound outcomes.

Child Custody:
Mustang’s highly rated schools and close-knit community make child custody disputes particularly sensitive, as parents often seek to maintain stability and minimize disruptions to school routines and extracurricular activities. Our attorneys work to create parenting plans that prioritize consistency, proximity to schools, and the overall well-being of the child.

Custody Modifications:
Many families experience life changes such as job relocations, new employment opportunities in the metro area, or shifting schedules that require modifications to existing custody arrangements. We assist parents in requesting or contesting custody modifications based on substantial changes, always keeping the child’s best interests at the forefront.

Prenuptial Agreements:
Prenuptial agreements aren’t just for the wealthy. While they are often used by business owners, professionals, and individuals with assets like retirement accounts, farmland, or inherited property, prenups can benefit anyone who wants to protect their financial interests, clarify expectations, and prevent future disputes. Our attorneys draft customized, enforceable agreements tailored to each client’s unique situation.
Women’s Rights + Domestic Abuse:
Abuse can affect individuals and families from all walks of life, regardless of background or community. While women are more commonly impacted, domestic violence can affect anyone. Our attorneys provide compassionate, experienced legal support to those seeking safety, financial stability, and protection orders. We help clients navigate the legal process with care, whether during divorce, custody proceedings, or when immediate protection is needed.

Men’s Rights in Family Court:
Fathers in Mustang deserve equal consideration in custody, visitation, and support matters. Our attorneys advocate for fathers who want to maintain active, meaningful relationships with their children and work to ensure fair outcomes in both parenting time and financial responsibilities.

Adoptions:
Stepparents, relatives, and private individuals often pursue adoption in Mustang to formalize legal parental rights and provide stability for children. Our adoption attorneys guide families through every step of the legal process to ensure smooth, legally sound adoptions that create lasting family bonds.

Guardianships:
Guardianships are often established when grandparents or relatives step in to care for minor children or incapacitated adults. We assist families in Mustang, in navigating the guardianship process, ensuring legal authority is properly established while prioritizing the ward’s best interests.

Protective Order:
Protective orders may become necessary during divorce or custody disputes, particularly in situations involving domestic violence. Our attorneys represent clients on both sides—whether seeking protection or defending against false allegations—while ensuring legal procedures are carefully followed in Canadian County courts.

“When systems fail & they do, Cannon & Associates support people & our community. Cannon & Associates represented me in my case & supported my rights as a citizen where I can continue to contribute to the service work I do. They’re a firm that will stand with you in any criminal defense case!” – Jami H.
While Mustang remains a safe, family-oriented community, its steady growth and proximity to Oklahoma City have led to an increase in criminal cases. Many Mustang residents charged with a crime have never faced the legal system before and may feel overwhelmed or unsure of what steps to take. At Cannon & Associates, our attorneys have extensive experience with Canadian County courts, local law enforcement, and the unique dynamics of criminal cases in this area. Whether you’re facing a misdemeanor or felony, having an experienced criminal defense attorney is critical to protecting your rights, your record, and your future.
You’ve got questions and we’ve got answers — but until we speak, please review the following information about criminal law in Mustang:
Driving Under The Influence (DUI):
Many Mustang residents travel to Oklahoma City for work, events, or nightlife. After one too many drinks, you may feel fine until you see the flashing lights in your rearview mirror. DUI arrests are common along major routes like State Highway 152, the Kilpatrick Turnpike, and nearby I-40, where law enforcement actively patrols. Our Mustang DUI defense attorneys carefully review traffic stops, field sobriety tests, and breathalyzer results to build the strongest defense possible and protect your driving privileges.
Domestic Abuse: Assault & Battery
Domestic violence charges often arise from family conflicts or disputes that escalate quickly. These cases are emotionally complex and carry serious legal consequences. Our defense attorneys investigate every aspect of the situation, ensuring our clients’ rights are protected and all possible defenses are pursued.
Property Crimes:
As Mustang continues to grow, charges involving theft, burglary, shoplifting, or vandalism have become more frequent. We advocate for clients accused of property crimes by challenging evidence, negotiating alternative resolutions, and minimizing long-term consequences wherever possible.
Drug Crimes:
Anyone can find themselves caught in the middle of a drug charge. Oklahoma prosecutes drug offenses aggressively, and Mustang’s location near major highways and tribal reservations often leads to complex jurisdictional issues. Whether facing possession, distribution, or trafficking charges, our attorneys closely examine the circumstances of traffic stops, searches, and evidence handling to challenge the prosecution’s case and pursue reduced or dismissed charges whenever possible.
Sex Crimes:
Sex crime allegations carry some of the most severe and long-lasting penalties under Oklahoma law. We handle these highly sensitive cases with discretion, aggressive defense strategies, and a commitment to protecting our clients’ rights at every stage of the process.
Expungement:
A criminal record can affect employment, housing, and personal opportunities. For eligible clients, we assist with expungement petitions to seal or clear past charges, allowing them to move forward with a clean record.
Juvenile:
Juvenile offenses in Mustang may involve theft, drug possession, or school-related incidents. Our attorneys work to protect young clients from the lasting effects of a criminal record, advocating for rehabilitation-focused outcomes and alternative sentencing whenever possible.
Crimes Against People:
Charges such as assault, battery, or harassment require a thorough legal defense. Our Mustang attorneys fight to protect clients’ rights, challenge prosecution evidence, and pursue the best possible outcome at every phase of the case.
Misdemeanor Crimes:
Even misdemeanor charges like public intoxication, shoplifting, or disorderly conduct can have significant consequences. We work to resolve misdemeanor cases quickly, minimizing fines, penalties, and long-term impacts.
White Collar Crimes:
Financial crimes such as fraud, embezzlement, and forgery are prosecuted aggressively in Oklahoma. Our attorneys defend individuals and professionals facing white collar charges, thoroughly analyzing financial evidence and seeking favorable resolutions.
Firearms Crimes:
Oklahoma’s gun laws present serious legal challenges for those charged with firearms offenses, including unlawful possession or violations of state or federal regulations. We work to protect our clients’ Second Amendment rights and navigate the complex legal system on their behalf.
If you’re facing criminal charges in Mustang, we’re here to guide you through the process. Get clarity on your situation and explore your options with a free case review—no pressure, just dedicated support.
