The trial judge has ordered a cash appeal bond be payed at the time of or prior to the filing of the notice of intent to appeal. This bond is in the same amount as the fines I was sentenced to.

No, it's not. There are cases that say they can't do that, yet it's still done all over Oklahoma. Hire an attorney to address this issue with the judge.

I paid majority of my probation but was told if I didnt finish paying I would receive a felony on my record. Can I go back and expunge this if it was my first offense for possession of marijuana in front of minor

You can't get the case dismissed until you pay everything off. You can't get the case expunged until you first get it dismissed then wait (probably five years for you). So, your clock doesn't start running until you get it dismissed.

The interlock has been a part of Oklahoma law for a while. There was a major change in the DUI law in 2011 that mandated extra interlock time. This may be what you're thinking of.

The other attorney's answer is 100% correct--constructive possession is how this can happen. This occurs when you know the drugs are there and can control the disposition of them.

The other attorney's answer is correct. Talk to your attorney about this. You hired him to answer questions like this.
I would like to know if Oklahoma's law regarding penalties for marijuana consumption in the presence of a minor is interpreted as either "child in same house/building" or "child in the same room as the consumption".
