The laws vary from state to state. You might want to contact your state arbor department to find out for sure.
If the oak tree can prove that it is related to some of the wood used, and no other tree steps up to claim the tree house, there's a good chance that the courts will grant permanent custody.
For your safety, and so you don't get in trouble with the law or with your kids, I would recommend just leaving the tree house where it is.
Your kids can, however, file for generous visitation privileges. I am sure the courts will grant them the right to visit any time they see fit.
Good luck.

Are the kids in the tree house. Let the tree adopt the treehouse, then sue it for your many years of treehouse support.

Possession is nine tenths of the law, so the tree has a case. The cherry tree in my yard gained custody of my tire swing five years ago...
