In Oklahoma, you become an adult at the age of eighteen and at that time a person can make their own decisions.
If my spouse is already in a relationship with somebody else do I have grounds for divorce

All that is necessary for a divorce is incompatibility. It is not necessary to prove anything beyond that.
Best of luck!

The ATI takes effect as soon as the Petition is filed. Both parents have equal rights to children of the marriage unless/until there is a court order stating otherwise.
Child custody is not a do it yourself project. You need to hire an attorney.

If a protective order has been filed, hire an attorney to defend you. You do not want a PO to be entered because it can follow you and impact your life in many ways.
Best of luck.

Discovery is not filed or submitted to the court.
I can tell by your question that you are in over your head in the deep water. You need an attorney. If the other parent has an attorney and you don't, it usually does not end well.
Best of luck!

This would be an issue the parents would need to address.
I received a letter in the mail today from OCSS informing me of a hearing to modify child support.
I called the custodial parent and she seemed as shocked as I was when she checked her mail. She claims that she did not file any motion and that she did not believe a modification was... View More

It sounds like that is what has happened, so yes, it can happen. My experience is this sometimes happens when the other parent is receiving some type of state benefits.
I have also seen more than a few cases where the other parent denies requesting the modification, only to later learn they... View More
For 9 years I have had custody of my son. I have made all major decisions regarding education and how he is raised. He has lived with me and been financially supported by me since his father has never paid child support nor have we gone to court to establish custody. We were never married or in any... View More

If you have never been to court, there would not be any court documents stating that you have custody. However, since you were not married, you would be considered the custodial parent by statute. I published a Blog Article that explains custody of children born to parents who are not married.... View More

Am wondering if he could take him away from me if he leaves for a week
answered on Sep 23, 2021
It depends on if you are the biological or adoptive parent of the child. You would of course have rights to your own child. You would not have rights to someone else's child.
The mother of the child and I have an active divorce in process. However, my wife has practically absconded; she has several ongoing legal issues from a recent arrest and failure to pay a lease agreement. She has left our minor child in the care of the maternal grandmother without my consent or... View More

I agree with Ms. Self. A contested guardianship is not a do-it-yourself project. You need an attorney.

What court forms do I need to file
answered on Sep 11, 2021
I'm not aware of any forms, but a form would not help you anyway. If you are trying to get joint custody in a paternity case, you are going to need an attorney. There are many excellent attorneys in your part of the state. Contact a few and hire the one you feel comfortable working with on... View More
When emergency protective order was made, the petitioner added special condition that once a week the defendant would receive a phone call from a restricted number to be able to speak with minor child. The petitioner has only called twice in a year.
answered on Sep 7, 2021
I think your first step is to have an attorney review what you have. If there is no existing custody order, your next step should be to obtain an initial custody determination in the District Court. Then, that order can be enforced. Hire an attorney to help you get this done.
Best of luck.

Did you try to represent yourself at the hearing or did you have an attorney?

Just explain the situation and your reasons for the request to your attorney and the attorney will know how to make the request in your pleadings.
