Probate is a complicated process. You should consult with an attorney to assist you.

You can either have your ex sign a quit claim deed giving the property to you or if the decree has the legal description and states that you get the house you can file a certified copy of the decree in the county records.

Wife has refused ownership of the dog several times due to quality of life at apartment. I’ve offered to pay for everything. He has lived with me for the entire separation period. He was my bestfriend while I was in the army. Now she is only keeping him from me to hurt me. But she has him listed... View More

You don't say how the dog is listed in the divorce decree. If the decree says she gets the dog and it has not been signed by the Judge - don't sign the decree. If the decree says she gets the dog and the Judge has signed the decree then the decree is enforceable. Dogs are considered... View More
My dhs lawyer has been going back and forth for almost 3/4 months trying to get the discovery for our case from the courts and they keep beating around the bush. Now they are not even responding to him. I know that the discovery does not have to legally be given out (even though we are entitled to... View More

I don't know what discovery the courts would be providing to you. Generally its the opposing party that you are requesting documents/information from and if they fail to comply with discovery requests you file a Motion to Compel. Your DHS attorney probably knows this.

You would need to file a Motion to Modify custody and set it for hearing before the Judge. You should also file for emergency custody if the custodial parent is currently in jail. This can be complicated so I suggest you seek the services of an attorney.
My mothers non biological father dies with a will and my mother has two other half siblings…what rights does she have here?
answered on May 11, 2022
I agree with Mr. Watts. If the deceased is her stepfather and he never adopted her, the will controls how the assets are distributed.
we had a custody change as my child needs to know their siblings, they then lived with biological father at the time he(bio-father) owed over twenty thousand, I was under the understanding his back amount would be reduced from any amount that was asked of me to pay( not the case), my child is now...

You can domesticate child support order in the state where the Dad lives and have an attorney collect for you.
Non custodial is behind in child support but is making payments. The visitation is court ordered and is not being denied by non custodial but not being followed by custodial due to no communication at all for the last 4 years, despite non custodial and family reaching out.
answered on Feb 22, 2022
Being behind in child support is not a valid reason to withhold visitation if the Court Ordered visitation. A motion to enforce is the usual remedy but a review of the Order from the Court would be necessary. Good Luck!
The father doesn't visit, in the last 2 years has visited 3 times. And is threatening court.
answered on Feb 11, 2022
You need to look at the visitation schedule to see what the court ordered. I have never seen a judge disallow phone calls from a parent.
& does that mean that the person gettong child support for said children could come get my kids from me at any time even tho they are currently enrolled in school where we live (in a different state) plus i have medical etc etc for them

You should file to modify custody and ask the Court to make you the custodial parent with visitation to the other parent. You need a court order that says you are the custodial parent.

If your Mom died intestate you would be entitled to a share of probate assets. You would need an attorney to review the probate documents to tell you what you are entitled to and explain the probate process as it relates to your Mom's case. Every probate is different as to how long they take... View More
He is the next living relative and had to send information and initials to funeral home because funeral home wouldn't let partner do it even with will stating so.

In Oklahoma he would not be required to provide a copy of the will but since she died (I am assuming she lived there) in New Mexico you should post in the New Mexico group.
In Oklahoma, if your husband was an heir pursuant to the will he would be given written notice when the will was... View More

I think it depends on why she lost custody, has she has changed whatever made her lose custody and if the custodial parent objects.

He went to court over the property and won; a quit claim deed was signed over to him and him alone. Is it possible to get half of our... View More
answered on Oct 29, 2021
You would need to talk to a probate attorney and have them review the court documents that you have. You state that "he went to court and won". If the judge already decided that all of the property should go to your brother it may be too late. However, that makes no sense. If a probate... View More

If you were guardian of your mother you could pursue her action on her behalf. Also a Durable Power of Attorney drafted correctly would allow you to proceed on her behalf. You can't "take it into your own hands" as the cause of action belongs to your Mother. Good Luck!

Having had no contact or relationship with the child for 16 of his 17 years I consented to his request only to find out later that... View More

If the custodial parent has died and the child is still a minor then you owe the child support arrears to the person who has guardianship over the child or if the child has received benefits from DHS due to your nonpayment of child support you may owe DHS.
If the child is now an adult and... View More

I don't know any similar case examples. If there is new evidence that there was no victim, you can file a Motion to Vacate the Protective Order.

There are no forms for a violation of ATI. An attorney would draft a Application based on the facts of the case and every case is different.
