If you are looking for guidance, you could look to any exit order you have if you still have your parental rights intact.

First, that's a lot and this is probably really heavy on you.
I'm not sure exactly what you're asking for you and what you want to do. You have a bunch of different options, but they all come with different explanations and consequences.

If you’re asking what to do, your friend needs to safety plan with a domestic violence expert. DVIS is a DV provider in Tulsa who can help her. Often, it’s more dangerous to immediately file a VPO or to involve the police without any safety plan at all.
She can also contact the YWCA.... View More
I traded a motorcycle for a truck and he never sent me a title. I found out the truck isn’t even in his name..

I’d probably start by contacting the Attorney General’s office - specifically the consumer protection division. It might also be worth filing a police report for fraud and you could have a civil fraud claim against this person as well.
My 16 year old left his dad and came to my house. His dad has been threatening to kick him out for at least 6 months. His dad has text me two different times about him coming to stay with me.

It sounds like you might need an emergency motion to modify whatever underlying custody agreement / order is currently in place.
If no order is in place, then your kid can stay with either parent.
Problem and it's been over a year.. and its affecting my energy costs

That’s a big question. I’m not sure what the “house isn’t sound” means.
If you search the Oklahoma Bar Association’s website, they have detailed information about landlord tenant responsibilities. So does Legal Aid.
I have police reports of the vpo but no charges were filed

answered on Jul 16, 2021
Not really. If you’re in danger or risk of imminent harm, you can file a VPO.
That said, if your abuser has left you alone for over 15 years and shows no sign of coming around, you could have court costs assessed against you.

In Oklahoma, you could get a default divorce. If you’re in a bigger county, their law library might have resources or special free/low cost programs. Legal Aid’s website also has forms and helpful information.

Essentially, yes. You can basically turn your child over to the state through a deprived action. Your child would become a ward of the state, get services, and you could relinquish your parental rights. It’s a hard thing, but is an option.

If you’re complying with your ISP by following all recommended services, it’s hard for me to imagine that DHS is recommending termination. At the end of the day, the ADA makes that determination if they’ll terminate or not. You have to work that plan though.

I got married in Arkansas on 8/13/2020 in Fort Smith Arkansas. The next following month I filed for an annulment in Wagoner, Oklahoma but my husband decided to challenge the Arkansas law and state that we are not married despite the license being filed in Arkansas and signed by a minister. The... View More

That's curious. Actions for divorce or annulment can be brought in the State of Oklahoma when either the petitioner or the respondent has been a resident for 6 months. After establishing if the action can be filed in the State of Oklahoma, then you look at which county is appropriate. It can... View More

There can be civil remedies for destruction of property that you could, depending on the value of what this person damaged/destroyed, bring in Small Claims court. If it's more than $10,000.00, then you could file a CS or CJ action.

It's a different question if it's "legal" versus if it's covered by his insurance. It's "legal" as long as you have your friend's permission to drive their vehicle.

You should contact a "personal injury" attorney. I noticed that this was posted under Landlord/tenant inquiries and they wouldn't likely see it.
We had an agreement and I have retained screenshots of the agreement made threw text and the person had 3 puppies total. Agreement was I get a puppy or the price for what the puppy sells for. She refuses to give me a puppy and has sold 2 already and refuses to give me the money

answered on May 3, 2021
You can potentially sue her for breaching that agreement. It won't be cut and dry because it doesn't sound like there's a signed contract, but there are some potential theories of recovery available to you under what you've described.

From what you've described, they can still be brought up. They're certainly not "void."
Victims don't have the choice about "pressing charges." Rather, that's the prosecutor's call. The victim can recant, fail to cooperate, etc. But it's the prosecution's choice whether to press charges or not.
I just started this lease officially on April 17th and have only been able to stay a maximum of 4 days in the house due to back to back problems which also posed a hazard to my 10 month old son as well as myself and my unborn child.

There isn't enough information there to know where to start. However, the Oklahoma Bar Association has a very helpful page that provides answers to a lot of questions like this. Here's the link: https://www.okbar.org/freelegalinfo/tenant/

I'm sorry to hear you are in this position.
If you left, your parent(s) could call the police and DHS and try to force you to return. Depending on how close you are to 18, their response could be different.

In Oklahoma, the age of consent for minors is 16. That means it is illegal (because it can't be consented to due to age) for an 18-year-old to have sex with someone 15 or younger. That is called "statutory rape."
I'm sorry that you are in this position.
