In Oklahoma, father (on birth certificate) is keeping (under 1 year old) away from mother. Father has protective order against mother and hasn’t let mother see child in over a month. Is there someone she can call to make him give her the child?
answered on Dec 22, 2022
Yes, any family law attorney in your part of the state can help her. Take a copy of the protective order and any other court documents to the attorney. Once they review what has been filed they will then be able to tell you exactly what needs to happen next.
Best of luck and happy holidays.

As both my colleagues have indicated - there is a potential to have this resolved. You will need an attorney to help you fight. There is always more facts that come out once the paperwork is all in front of the attorney. However, an action can be filed that establishes custody (joint, full, equal,... View More

Again the answer is the same. The officer does not have anything to enforce because the mutual agreement is an above and beyond clause. The officer can address any definite order from the court - such as a specific holiday or where one person is supposed to meet at a specific time ((that is in the... View More
I am teens biological mother but my rights were terminated to her 15 years ago. She has recently been taken by the state again but from her aunt that adopted her and doesn't want her back. she wants to be with me. I don't want them to come pick her up and not sure what I can do at this point

Unfortunately for you you have no legal standing in keeping her if your rights were terminated. Her aunt “may” grant you guardianship which would essentially give you permission for custody but would not change your status in regards to the parental rights. This is all conditional on the courts... View More

Your question is a bit vague and not sure what the law enforcement provision is regarding to. In general “any other times” is just that times that are not specifically mentioned in the plan (ie. Regular visits, holidays, summer, etc…) and thus these times are merely optional so long as both... View More

My son and the mother of his child have no custody/visitation agreement in place. My son was not aware that he was the father of this child for the first two years of the child's life. The child's mother listed another person as being the father on the child's birth certificate. When... View More

Grandparents rights are a moving target in Oklahoma and for the most part grandparents rights are those given by the parents of the child. If your son has no official rights established through the courts then you are just another person and not technically a grandparent (legally).
What steps do we need to take and how would we go about step parent adoption
answered on Oct 26, 2023
As long as bio dad has not paid child support for the past 13 months, an adoption without consent can proceed.
Adoption is a complicated matter, you should retain an experienced family law attorney to help you.
Was done without my knowledge, I'm not sure exactly which power of attorney it is, I'm needing to revoke because my son is being illegally withheld from me because of this one fraudulent document.
answered on Oct 25, 2023
If it is simply just a POA in which you grant power to someone, you simply can revoke that. However, this sounds more like a Guardianship. Due to the specifics in your case, you need to consult with an attorney rather than the reliance in a general forum such as this. Best of luck to you.

DHS decision will prevail in reunification with the parent(s) - if you do not want any longer then contact DHS and they will place in another home until the parent(s) either complete their tasks and are reunified or they terminate parental rights.

For instance, if there is a term that states no living together with your significant other for at least a year, would getting married supercede that?
answered on Jun 12, 2023
Maybe. Some decrees will cite an exception for marriage, but some don't. It would boil down to to the exact language used in the decree.
The father is married. The mother is not.

If the parties cannot agree then a paternity suit establishing custody would be the course of action to take.

This should be in your divorce decree and/or parenting plan. The most common verbiage is that no one of the opposite sex can stay overnight - usually not just meeting. But you should contact a family law attorney to go over the specifics of your case.

In Oklahoma, the child must be a resident within the state for 6 months. Once that is established, it remains that state until another state's residency jurisdiction takes over.
