He needs a good attorney. The prosecutor either has video or a third party witness and is trying to strong arm him into a plea. Obviously, I don't have the discovery (evidence) to give you any more guidance, but make sure he doesn't give a statement to police and get him an attorney... View More

I would hire an attorney to file probate on your behalf to insure she doesn't liquidate personal property. The key will be who he placed as his beneficiaries on the bank accounts. If the accounts were held separate and were not co-mingled, you may have a valid claim.
If we can help,... View More

Because it is a juvenile, the punishment is limited, and if it was just reported to the school and didn't involve police then the criminal statute below might not apply.

I am not entirely certain what you are asking, but let me take a shot at answering. A person may be found to lack capacity to stand trial. For this to happen a hearing must be held after a psychological evaluation to determine is the person understands the charges against him/her, and is able to... View More

Sadly yes. If there is a child support order in place, it must be followed until there is a motion to modify. This is why it is important to have your attorney file a motion to modify when there is a substantial and material change to living arrangements of the children.
She started suffering from dementia several years ago. She left her entire estate to her caregiver.Do I have any recourse? I don't know if she had a will, if so would it be valid? Can a caregiver be a beneficiary in this instance? Thank you in advance
Sincerely, Julie Rushing
answered on Oct 7, 2019
More information is needed to give a full analysis, but here are a few thoughts to get you started.
The only way she could have left her estate to the caregiver would be through a will, a trust, or as a beneficiary of insurance or bank accounts. With that said, there still needed to be... View More

I am sorry, but I am not certain what type of template you are requesting? Over and over again, I see people who attempt to file petitions themselves and not only do they spend an enormous amount of time doing it, but the stress ends up being far more than anyone should have to deal with. Also,... View More

Yes, it is a criminal offense to attempt to gain advantage by false claims of a need for a protective order. The problem is finding an ADA with the courage to file it, or a police officer to even listen to the idea.

If you have custody, you can always file a writ of habeas or writ of assistance. There is a specific way to do that for out of State writs. With that said, there may be a challenge since it has been 4 years.
In Oklahoma is it a violation of an Emergency Order of Protection that says I can not contact my ex wife to send my Mom to pick up my kids for my court ordered Visitation
answered on Sep 26, 2019
Unless the protective order specifically states an exception for communication it is a violation. Any contact is a violation otherwise. The violation is not about the kids, but instead is about the communication. There are specific parenting apps, which are normally recognized by the courts as... View More

If she is working a plan after a deprived adjudication or waiver, then it makes... View More
