This is a much more complex question than can be answered in this format. The part of the answer is that he would have to file for paternity in order to invoke any parental rights. Considering the fact that he is guilty of a crime based on your age difference and the sexual nature of your... View More 
18. We have 50/50 custody. I left state 3 mos. Later,changed job to 53k a year. Now see child every other weekend. She now wants more child support,though in notorized document she stated she would never ask more child support. Not in decree. Just notorized paper she wrote and agreed to.
answered on Dec 6, 2020
Even though you have gone from 50/50 to weekends you still have rights to 182 overnights. So, unless you have increased your income dramatically, I would be surprised if your child support rate would change. She can ask for whatever she wants, but it will be up to the Judge if she wants to fight... View More
Is it still not complying with the court ordered payments for 6 of the previous 12 months? Also is paying partial payments considered complying or not since the full amount was not received?
answered on Dec 6, 2020
Pete nailed it. 12 of the last 14 months for adoption. The only other angle would be through a Juvenile termination for child neglect, but that would be a stretch, especially if you have made any payments at all.
My brother was arrested yesterday for domestic a&b after my sister attacked him. She pressed charges against him but he did not against her. She wont show up to court she is addicted to drugs and hardly there. What should I expect? I am very scared he is going to get prison time over this. She... View More

If it is a first offense, it should only be a misdemeanor. That means the worst he can get is 1 year jail time. If she is not going to testify against him then most likely it will be dismissed unless he gave a statement incriminating himself or someone else witnessed the altercation and they are... View More
I am trying to take out a mortgage to pay for an attorney. How much time am I legally allowed to do so before the judge puts me back in jail?
answered on Dec 2, 2020
It very much depends on the Judge and the county. One thing you have working for you at the moment ismost of the courts are closed or closing until after the New Year due to the risk of COVID.

There is a lot to unpack here. First, has a Paternity case been filed? If not, then he really doesn't have any rights at all. If, not he other hand, the court has determined paternity, then Oklahoma will have jurisdiction over custody and visitation. With that said, all you would need to... View More
My husband moved my children out of state with out judges permission an mine he made it seam like it was a visit but he has moved
answered on Oct 23, 2020
You really need to hire an attorney for this type of action. It i a breach of the child custody order and would be considered contempt. There are certain hurdles a person must jump through if they move more than 75 miles or outside the agreed distance in the decree or paternity order.
Is she allowed to say no contact, except meetings or groups? It is not in the order signed by the Judge. *edit* we wish to get married. He is 15+ yrs clean and I have 2+yrs clean.

Both DA and DOC supervision have a clear restriction on being around felons. There normally is an exception for spouse, but otherwise it is a breach of probation.

Subject Matter Jurisdiction issues are being argued based on McGirt and Murphy cases in Oklahoma. You need to be on a role and have a CBID card that shows you have a blood quantum. Further the crime must have occurred on Muskogee/Creek territory. I believe there has just been a ruling regarding... View More

Depends...if they are having a hard time finding their witness then I don't like it because it gives them ore time to find them. If on the other hand, they are contemplating new evidence that might exonerate you then it is a good thing. Generally, I prefer pushing forward and calling ready.... View More
Im trying to see what the odds are of getting soul custody of my son. Hes 10 months old and his father is bad into drugs and lives in his car because his ex kicked him out. He does have a job at a gas station but has only helped me twice since my son has been born with diapers. He never sees my son... View More

Not sure what your legal situation is at the moment, so it makes it hard to answer your question. There are two types of custody: Legal and Physical Custody. Legal Custody is about making decisions for the child. Examples would be where to go to school, church, medical treatment, etc. Physical... View More
I scanned my items in self checkout. I noticed the machine was making a weird beeping when I scanned. Finally a worker came over and fixed it. So I went to leave and they asked for my receipt. They contained me saying I was a thief. I dont remember much of the event but I think she said I was... View More

You should hire an attorney, even if it is just a municipal charge. These types of charges can haunt you. Let an experienced attorney handle this for you.

I think I actually answered this already. Contact two attorneys and get quotes on retainers. Then tell the judge who you talked with and that you need more time to retain them.
answered on Oct 3, 2020
It really depends on how many times you have gone to court whether the judge will give you more time. Usually, most judges, will give you time to retain an attorney. My suggestion is to contact at least two attorneys and get prices. Let the judge know that you have contacted those specific... View More

If you have no money at all, then you might reach out to Legal Aid or one of the Christian Charities.

Generally speaking anytime there is an adult and the minor under the age of 16 years, you have considerable risk, in that the minor cannot give consent to anything. Also, Lewd Molestation, child pornography, etc. are charges that could be alleged for as little as selfies in bathing suits, or... View More

In most cases, the relocating party must provide notice well in advance in order to offer the other party time to object. If they just move and take the child with them, then you can file an Application for Contempt for staters. Unless there is a very good reason for the move and it won't... View More
They were never married, no abuse except for mental abuse from her to him. They have 2 children but my husband accepts her other child as his and we have him when we have the others. Her family says she never has them, either we have them or her mother or sister do. Kids are 8, 9, and 12.

I agree with Pete. We have Father's who get 50/50 all the time. We even have some Father's who are the primary custodian. It is a case by case determination.

You are correct, the DA cannot charge you or in any other was threaten you to testify if you are the victim. With that said, that does not prevent DHS from opening a case. This happens more than it should.
