Craig county in OK., is getting ready to vote on zoning concerning wind turbines. The county clerk states once in place it’s basically there forever.
answered on Oct 7, 2024
The answer technically is yes it could be reversed .... Theoretically it is not in place forever, but to remove it takes the same procedures as it does to add it. In other words, if your county commissioners are required to have 75% approval to pass something into law, then to 'change'... View More

Without knowing your specifics and seeing all your documents, if you are both tenants in common on the property, then one's ownership rights cannot be hindered for what would be a legal purpose.

Both parents are listed as guardians in the school database. The Victim Protective Order does not state anything about educational records.
answered on Oct 7, 2024
So long as the VPO is not on behalf of the minor children as well, the VPO does nothing to affect the 'legal custody rights' of the other parent. If the VPO is only in the name of the one parent against the other parent, then access to the children/children's records would remain... View More

In the short answer -- No that is not a violation. In Oklahoma, only a defendant against whom a protective order has been issued may be held to have violated the order. 22 OS 60.6(H) --- Therefore if the Victim makes contact or attempts to make contact, this is not a violation of the order....

If he has permission to be there, then he would have to be removed like any other person who had a legal right to be there. You would have to evict them from the property. Since he is there by permission, the 'squatters rights' or ownership by adverse possession is defeated - he will... View More

While I understand your preference, the city is allowed to enact city codes for the safety and welfare of the citizens within the city limits. Tall grass is one of these items because, whether we agree or not, can create a hazardous condition in the event of grass fires. Unfortunately this... View More
My parents have no will I am the only child that shares both parents. They passed with no will. Can I I herit the property. It's just the house bo assets
answered on May 8, 2024
If you are legally adopted through the courts, then you are considered a child with the same rights of a naturally born child. This does not mean you are guaranteed the house, but it does mean you potentially have a rightful share in the home. You should contact an estate/probate/family law... View More

If you have true Tenancy in Common, you own your "interest" in the property. You have the right to transfer that interest to anyone you like, even without the permission of the other interest owners. You can even sell your interest to another person not related to you. However, if you... View More
Draft of Decree simply reads "his (company name) retirement account to be divided 50/50". Is this acceptable or will it create issues down the line?
answered on Dec 27, 2023
Technically it is ok.
Some attorneys like more information, some even like last 4 of account number, to eliminate questions. Other attorneys prefer less and would just say 50% of the retirement accounts to go to the other person to allow some flexibility. No set rule - both have pros/cons... View More

I have a bill of sale and I am waiting for the title. Got a citation for failure to register and expired tags which it doesn't have a tag to expire.
answered on Nov 29, 2023
While I agree with my colleague there is a brief period where you can drive without a tag and only a bill of sale. This period is five days from the date of sale. After that you must have it titled/registered. If you purchased from a car lot they just provide you with a dealer tag which would allow... View More

Hire an attorney to assist you to do everything in order to guidelines and procedures. In the alternative, since this is a 'friendly suit' you can always get with the opposing side to work out some of the details such as these and file an agreed order.

You will need to contact an attorney to get your answer because there are many different factors along with reporting and filing of deeds and other things. You "may" have a claim for a quiet title action, but you may not.

You will need to hire an attorney to assist you with this. Depending on what DHS is claiming, they could also be claiming a failure to protect against you. You need to have this all figured out first before moving forward.

Your question is not one that can be answered in this forum with a simple do this or do that. Based on your specific question, you will most likely be working in tribal court first. Contact an attorney who is on the bar of that nation for more specifics on your case.
The will is typed up. Does this invalidate it here in Oklahoma
answered on May 8, 2024
A typed will is admissible in Oklahoma, and in my opinion actually preferred assuming it is executed properly with signatures and witnesses - This will have to be verified during the probate of the will. Contact a family law or probate attorney to assist you.
answered on May 8, 2024
Contact a family law attorney to assist you. Just because one party does not agree to the divorce does not mean you are not able to get one. There are procedures that can be taken to get you the divorce.
