If you filed for divorce in 2016, my first question is why hasn't that been finalized? Nothing should take that long unless you have been trying to reconcile. Next, with the divorce petition you both should have signed an ATI (automatic temporary injunction), which in simple terms freezes... View More

I agree with Pete, and would add that there is a criminal statute for infidelity, but it is not enforced anywhere in the State of Oklahoma that I have ever heard.

I would agree with Charles. I have a case like this right now where the house has been sold and the profit is being held by one of the attorneys in an escrow account to be distributed after mediation.

My interpretation of the case law is as follows:

The child support order is not for two individual children, but instead is for support of all children. Therefore, just because one of the children reaches the age of majority (18 years of age and graduated from high school) it does not... View More

When you say testified, do you mean in court under oath? If that is the case, then I would question why the father still has unsupervised visitation? If you came to me with that claim, I would probably start by calling his attorney and try to get an agreement to adjust the visitation temporarily... View More

You need to get a good attorney to look into this. Child Support should not change unless it is ordered by the court.

If you are subpoena'ed you should show up at court. The subpoena literally is a court order for you to show up. Now whether you have to testify is another thing altogether. There is a statute in Oklahoma that prevents the DA's office from prosecuting a victim. So, they cannot... View More

Have your mother call the DA's office int he county where her car was stolen and the suspect is in jail. Tell them how much it would cost to fix, or what the vehicle was worth before the transmission was destroyed. The DA's office should include in their charges restitution, which they... View More

For a divorce without children there is no counseling required. if you have children then there are two classes that you must take. Currently, due to COVID they are on-line and not in person.

A case may be dismissed for many reasons. If your attorney filed or orally argued a motion to suppress the evidence under Brady or Kyles, or if the change makes it such that the witnesses will be easily impeached at preliminary hearing or trial, then the DA may choose to dismiss instead of facing...

The right thing to do is to repay her. This will not guarantee that you won't be charged, but she would have to testify that she did not give you permission to use her credit. I would think it is unlikely she would want to testify against you, if you made things right. Depending on the... View More

If he has been designated but he court as acting pro se, then all he needs to do is request it from he DA's office. There may be a nominal charge. If he is in custody, then he should have had a Public Defender appointed to defend him on his charges, and the Public Defender should provide him... View More

I agree with David. You need to focus first on the criminal charge. That charge can take away your liberty and your children all at once. I assume the child neglect probably stems from the Possession of MJ with intent to distribute. You need to hire someone who understands the how to defend... View More

The question is whether the individuals entered three different dwellings or the same dwelling on three separate occasions. As Tracy said, you need to hire a good criminal defense attorney who will get your discovery (the evidence they have against you) and fight to make sure you are being charged... View More

The real key is how long ago the alleged crime occurred. The Statute of Limitation for most State charges is 3 years and the Statute of Limitations on most Federal cases is 5 years. If you are outside those windows, then by all means you should have an attorney look into filing a McGirt/Murphy... View More

The public intoxication charge is the real issue. It shows that he is not capable of controlling his addiction. Having him kept on monitored visitation seems reasonable. I would even suggest supervised visitation might be in order. I think an example of greater self control would be needed... View More

It is a complex question with a complex answer. It appears as if you have financially supported everyone for a period of time. It also appears that you wife no longer needs you complete financial support. Need is a primary issue when looking at spousal support. Regarding the child support; it... View More

This is a simple and complex answer at the same time. The court order is what must be enforced. If you are the sole legal custodian, then what you say goes. Plus it looks like it is written right in the order, so it really can't be unilaterally changed by him. On the other hand, if he... View More

A dog is still considered personal property. A sales receipt or registration with your name on it would go a long was to you being able to show an officer you have possessory interest.

If you are referring to being an Indian from one of the federally recognized tribes, and the crime occurred on Indian Territory; then you need to file a motion that is very specific to those issues. I would not do this yourself. It should not be expensive, but hire wisely.
