Numerous Osage County law enforcement officials have stated it is NOT illegal to discharge firearms outside city/town limits in Osage County. So is it illegal or not?

They may be mistaking the difference between not illegal and not enforcing the law. They may not know about the law. There are many different laws that make it quite difficult if not impossible to know them all.

We are married in Oklahoma. I just want to make sure we won't be breaking any statutory laws when we move.

I agree with Mr. Louden, Florida laws need to be answered by a Florida attorney. I would add though how certain are you that you are married in Oklahoma? With the age obviously being an issue there has to be a very precise set of events that occur for the marriage to be valid.
may father and uncle have joint banking accounts does my uncle's new wife have access to them
answered on Nov 10, 2017
There are a few questions here that are left unanswered. You really should sit down with an attorney and discuss. However, it really depends on your uncle and what he gives her access to. If he gives her the credit card to the account then theoretically yes she has access. If he does not however... View More

I think you are asking how a step father can become the child's father if the biological father is not in the picture. I would recommend that you hire an attorney and look into seeing if the biological father would be open to the step father adopting the child.

You should consult with an attorney on whether you are common law married. If you are common law married though you must file for a divorce.

In the state of Oklahoma the judge is required to take into account the best interest of the child. I would recommend that you hire a lawyer to help you show to the courts how it is in the best interest of the child to be with you. It will be a heavy burden to overcome the presumption that the...
