Paternity decree states if father is in the area, he is allowed in person visits as long as he gives mother a 10 day notice. The visits will be supervised by mother and last three hours if parents can not decide on a time and there will be no more then two visits in one week. Father has asked for a... View More

I agree with Mr. Louden. I think a Court would find that you are being unreasonable if one parent is spending time and money to come to Oklahoma from out of state to see their child and you only allowed 1 day.

You have no legal rights as a step parent unless a Court Order states otherwise.

It would go to the person listed as POD unless they predeceased the account holder. POD controls over the will if beneficiary of the account (POD) is living.
Or nursing home care can the house be signed over to the child before admission?

I would not sign over the deed until you talk to an elder law attorney that can explain in detail the qualifications for Medicaid to pay for the assisted living. There are lots of complicated rules.
He had no will & I wasn't added to the deed on our home. Myself & kids have lived in our home & currently still do. Husband has 1remaining heir and to their belief he passed away single when in fact he did not. Probate court date is days away & I need to know how to address the... View More

Yes, you need to go to the Court hearing and tell the Judge what you posted. If you have your marriage license take it to the hearing, so you can prove you are married and a copy of the deed to show that the home was purchased after the marriage. If you don't have the documents, just tell the... View More

Legal aid might be able to assist you with an individual bankruptcy but I don't think they would do a business bankruptcy for you.

I agree with the other 2 attorneys that have posted. You file a Petition and attempt to get him served. It sounds like you don't know where he is so you can ask the Court to allow you to serve him by publication. When he doesn't respond you can file a Motion for Default and the Judge most... View More

It sounds like you are dealing with DHS. If so, you can contact them to see why the change. Generally, if you are paying child support past the 18th birthday it is arrears that you owe. Good luck!

I would contact Legal Aid if you can't get assistance from the Housing Authority that runs your section 8 program. I would also keep trying with the Housing Authority. In OKC, they have to approve the home before it qualifies for section 8 and it sounds like the apartments should not be... View More
There is no property owned nor any other asset to go to probate. He leaves me a single parent of our 4 children, all under the age of 13. He was the only one working. I have been a homemaker for the length of our 14 yr marriage. He did have a life insurance policy for $25000. But no other financial... View More

Yes, you can be held responsible for the medical debt of your spouse. You can see if you can negotiate a lower amount with the creditors or you can see if bankruptcy would be an option for you to discharge the medical debt. Good luck!
answered on Jul 13, 2021
I am not aware of any law that would prohibit this so I believe they could.
I have a debt collection agency who is represented by an attorney who has taken me to court and still hasn't provided details on what the medical bills are for. I just know they are from at least 2009; I was pulled over last year and was sent to jail over a bench warrant that was issued back... View More

You don't go to jail for not paying the debt. You go to jail for not appearing in court when the Judge orders
you to appear. Generally, it is after a judgment is awarded to the creditor and they file for a hearing on assets. You are served with an order to appear at the hearing on... View More
DHS took my kids, I've done everything they have asked me to do and they are saying I'm not making progress at all, I've done everything they've assigned me to do and even changed my attitude and behavior and they are still looking at terminating my rights, they wont let me live... View More

You need an attorney. In OKC, they have attorneys on contract that represent parents when DHS is trying to take your kids from you. Contact the juvenile court in Tulsa and see if someone can get an attorney assigned to you if you cannot afford private counsel. Good Luck!
There is blatant embezzlement with all financial accounts deposited in her personal account since said appointment
and almost all personal property being taken to the dump.
answered on Jul 12, 2021
If you are an heir you have an interest in the estate and could hire an attorney to review the evidence of embezzlement. That would allow you to file a motion to try to get her removed as the personal representative.
answered on Jul 13, 2021
You should hire an attorney to review the documents in your case and they can explain to you why you have a supervised visitation order. The Judge would have ordered it based on testimony or documents presented at a hearing in your case. Good Luck!
The noncustodial parent does not have custody and has not paid anything since it was ordered by court during the divorce finalization.
answered on Jul 13, 2021
It sounds like the pursuit of the non custodial parent was cancelled. Contact DHS to find out the status if you are the custodial parent. They will explain it to you.
Person has no spouse or children. But has living mother and siblings.

A probate may need to be filed. You would need an attorney to review deeds, bank accounts, etc. to determine if probate would need to be filed. Without a will, the estate passes according to Oklahoma statute. If deceased has no spouse or living children or deceased children with children, then the... View More

You should consult with a lawyer on this. Evidence is complicated. Sometimes evidence is not admissible (hearsay), what kind of evidence it is, or the judge may not consider it relevant (even if you do). You can't make them look at the evidence. If they deny the admission of evidence,... View More
My divorce was granted in 2016. A handwritten order was filed outlining the terms of the divorce. I, the father, was awarded sole custody and everything else was split. My lawyer passed a few days after the hearing and never filed the final decree. How do I get one and will I need a lawyer. I’d... View More

You can always represent yourself in court. You will need to draft the decree along with a custody plan and child support calculations, forward it to opposing counsel for them to approve and sign (along with your ex) and present the signed decree to the Judge. It will be up to the Judge if they... View More
