The oath is not about truthfulness, but instead to fulfill their duties as law enforcement and to protect the public. The courts have decided that lying is a part of their job. Yes, upside down logic. Do as I say, not as I do.

It is not illegal to have a digital scale, even if you are in drug court. Having her do a controlled buy is out of line in my opinion for what at best is a misdemeanor, and most likely not a crime at all. The caveat is if the scales had residue that presumptively tested positive. Still, I would... View More

I agree with Pete. There are just too many variables that can cause you heartache later. Many reputable attorneys will help you with an uncontested divorce for a very reasonable price.

Adultery is a crime in Oklahoma, 21 OK Stat § 21-871. It is a felony, but the reality is you will have a hard time finding a DA who will actually file those charges. In my opinion, your better course of action is to file for divorce and then fight for custody, especially since the courts tend to... View More

I agree with Pete, the only way an individual can attempt to terminate a parent’s rights, is through an adoption without consent. Other than that, DHS or the State would need to begin a termination proceeding.

That is a highly charged political question. I guess it depends on the county. What I have seen in Tulsa County is a far greater number of Possession with Intent charges. Although they are no longer sending people to prison for a small bag of anything, they are doing everything in their power to... View More

If no one else was there to witness this altercation, and you weren't in the midst of the emotion of the moment on the 911 call, then it all hinges on whether you are going to testify against him. You can call the victim's advocate and the ADA handling your case for the DA's office... View More

Giving up your parental rights or having them terminated by the court does not remove your obligation to provide child support. That only changes if the child is adopted.

Neither party is allowed to sell, transfer, destroy, or allow to devalue items that could be considered marital property. The short answer is to have your attorney file a motion to compel the other party to cease these activities and return the the insurance and motorcycle to the way it was before... View More

The person who files a protective order cannot violate the protective order. The rule of thumb is the person who has the protective order filed against them must leave the premises if the person who was granted the protective order enters. With that said, if you have reasonable evidence that the... View More

It would depend on the code of conduct, or the administrative rules within your school. It is not a criminal action less they intend to charge your child with public intoxication. Without some type direct evidence, I would be troubled by their conclusion, but there may be no recourse without... View More

Not as long as he is not in any form a guardian or custodian approved by your mother.

I hate to say it, but yes. There is an option for relief. You can ask the court to review your costs and fines and depending on your financial situation you can be given relief by the court. Supreme Court Justice Ginsberg made a big deal out of overly punitive court costs and fines being an... View More

There are two things that will bring child support into play. The first is whether a paternity case is filed. The other issue is if the child is being provided State services such as SoonerCare. There are a lot of reasons Paternity should be established and a set visitation and child support... View More

The DA cannot file a VPO first offense as a felony unless there are other charges added. You are correct 22 O.S. 234 provides what I would call a relief valve for special circumstances where a non-violent crime, which is a felony, may be amended down to a misdemeanor in the interest of justice....

What you were told is not exactly true. The statute states that a child may adopted without consent if the non-custodial parent has not provided financial support in 12 or the past 14 months ... OR ... has not made reasonable effort in the past 12 of the previous 14 months to establish or maintain... View More

If the vehicle is titled in both your names, it is hard to represent it as stolen since he has a valid claim of ownership. I don't think you have a way through police or the DA's Office to get the vehicle back. The only thing that comes to mind is small claims court. The argument is a... View More

When you file a police report, it does not automatically mean the charges will be filed. The reality is that is up to the District Attorneys office. It is a fallacy that you can press or drop charges. That is purely up to the DA. You can be willing or unwilling to testify. I don't know... View More
