The new poa does not include clause to revoke previous poa. Will the new poa be valid? I was not notified and only found out when I contacted bank to do draft for his electric bill and was told by bank there was new poa.

That is a de facto revocation of your POA... If you think Father is incompetent, and being taken advantage of, you might hire an OK attorney to start a Conservatorship.

He has not taken care of him or seen him in about a year and a half, my son is 2.

Not while he is your fiancé / after you get married then you can do a step-parent adoption. But the biological father will still have to give consent or you will have to prove in court why his consent is not necessary. Contact a family lawyer/adoption attorney for your best course of action.

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.

This is a fact intensive question beyond a general forum question as parental rights are constitutional rights and you have to be careful. Your daughter, assuming is of legal age needs to contact a family law attorney to assist with her
Of paternity
answered on Mar 17, 2023
If you know who the father is then you need to get the dna completed and then have him sign a consent to the adoption. This is much faster and easier than having to do other things when the father is unknown. Contact an adoption attorney for your best course of action.
They are in AZ but willing to come to Oklahoma to have the baby. Where do I start? How do I bring home the baby when she is born

If she comes here to have the baby then you will most likely avoid the legal issues of multiple states and thus making it easier and cheaper for you.

I think you are referring to money. County court clerks usually combine court costs and fines (on multiple cases) so that individuals have 1 payment to handle each month.

A victim cannot suspend a VPO. Once ordered, only the court can vacate the order.
Best of luck!
She gave me papers about a Temporary Order and a court date hearing. At this point, I'm unable to afford representation in my behalf. How do I respond to the papers handed to me? Do I go to the court hearing date? What is the procedure and process to that?
answered on Feb 20, 2023
Personally, no. Her handing you the paperwork does not constitute formal service of process. It’s a rare courtesy.
Take the papers she gave you to a competent attorney with family law experience in or near the county where the divorce proceedings are filed well before the date of the... Read more »

The short answer is No. Unless the child was specially named in a will, the child will not inherit. A provision for “all of my children” - or worse, no will at all - will not include a child who is legally considered someone else’s child.
I am one of 4 siblings. My mother passed and did not have a will. She was common law married but the land was purchased before the marriage and was only in her name. I have been paying the taxes on the land since she passed. What can I do to obtain the land since I am caring for it?
answered on Jan 10, 2023
Contact a probate attorney. These can be complex issues, and with a spouse involved (common law or not) the date the land was purchased is not relevant (it would be in the event of a divorce but not necessarily in death) - But first thing is the estate (land and all other belongings) needs to be...

him. He has sold his home and last payment for it will be in June. He is not listening to family and he’s opened up a 3rd bank account. I have POA on his living trust. What should I do?
answered on Jan 4, 2023
To better answer your question, I need to read his POA and the Living Trust. However, the problem with both documents is that they are REVOCABLE by him. As a result, you may need to begin guardianship proceedings in the County where he lives. A judge can only remove a court-appointed guardian.

If you have a probate lawyer then you need to work with that attorney and allow them to do their job as a prudent attorney. If you feel they are not representing you well then you need to either discuss that with them or contact a new attorney to take over the probate. Probates are very fact... Read more »
Deeded or willed. One of them lives on the 5 acres in the home where she had lived and had been there for about 5 years she has been deceased a year. No probate has been drawn up who has ownership of the property and can they sale all it or give it to another family member like a uncle or such?

Probating the grandmother’s estate will be the quickest and least expensive route to take. Sooner is better than later.
