About Pete
Biography
I am Oklahoma family law attorney Pete D. Louden. My mission is representing Oklahomans with child custody, divorce, paternity, visitation, and child support cases. I have been in practice since 1998.
Before Law School, I served ten years in the United States Army Infantry including service in the 101st Airborne Division in Desert Storm and a tour as Drill Sergeant at the Infantry Training Brigade at Ft. Benning, Georgia.
I have extensive experience in settlement negotiations, mediation, and complex high conflict divorce and custody trials. I take a personal interest in you and your family and use my diverse background, knowledge, and experience to guide you through the legal system and give you my all to help you achieve your goals.
Oklahoma Father's Rights Attorney and Fighting for Oklahomans Since 1998. (405) 731-5341
Fathers are not automatically doomed to standard visitation. Under the right circumstances, fathers can even get custody. I have over two decades of experience handling child custody battles. I know how to give you a shot at a fair deal. Put my experience to work for you and your children.
My goal is to keep you from paying a penny more than the law requires in your child support case. With over two decades of experience handling child support cases, I fight to ensure support is calculated correctly so you don't get hammered with an inflated support amount.
The sole focus of my law practice is family law. I have over two decades of experience handling divorce cases including negotiations, mediations, and complex high-conflict divorce and custody trials. Put my experience to work for you and your children.
My law practice is dedicated to representing Oklahomans facing divorce, paternity, custody, and child support cases.
