You need to contact the insurance company immediately and notify them. My advice is get a Post Office Box and send a formal letter to the insurance company giving them that address. Most likely you will need to file a police report for the criminal actions that took place, which I see at least 4... View More

Both Pete and Brian are giving you sound advice. A Petition to Establish Paternity, Custody and Child Support is the smartest safest way to protect all parties.

I got stopped for speeding and my car started smoking and I got out to check to see if my car was on fire or if it was just steaming, the officer was in his car running my licenses and writing a ticket.

The question posed sounds like you got in trouble for exiting your car during a traffic stop. However, your facts leave too much for interpretation. In short, if your car is on fire, you are not required to sit in it and burn to death, nor would any law enforcement officer expect you to. On the... View More
commits a subsequent felony offense within ten (10) years of the date following the completion of the execution of the sentence
answered on Feb 8, 2021
10 yrs after completion - so after discharge from prison. Just to be clear, anytime prior to that 10 year (including the time in prison) would still be considered during that time as well.

This can dependent on who removed the vehicle and from where. If the vehicle was on private property then §901 would not apply and therefore the 48 hours that you are wanting to enforce is not applicable because the land owners rights supersede your vehicle rights. If the vehicle was removed by... View More

If all he is worried about is the support then he needs to file for a modification with the DHS office that is handling the support. However, another option would be to file for modification of custody and child support because that will change the legal custody as well as readdress the child... View More

Most of these laws are covered under city municipal codes and not under state law (your local sheriff is enforcing state law not city codes). The state statute that would be closest to your situation is 21 OS §1685 which states "... deprive any such animal of necessary food, drink, shelter,... View More
If I owe and am paying on back due child support, but custody is modified and I am now the primary caregiver and am awarded child support by the other party, does the child support I am to receive have to go towards my back child support?
answered on Feb 4, 2021
Custody and Support while are often connected are technically separate items. In most cases the Child Support is also modified at the time of the custody modification (assuming that was done through the court and not merely by agreement). If you did not do the modification through the court, then... View More

You should contact an attorney to assist you in getting what is rightfully yours and what is fair and equitable. Your indiscretion alone is not sufficient to change the fair and equitable distribution. Unless there is more to the case then you need an attorney to help you get that fair treatment.... View More

Without the assistance of a competent attorney then you could be waiting a long time for any recovery from your mothers estate. I am not saying just give up, but you will need wise counsel in resolving your issue.

He is 27, cooperative with the police officer but did refuse to blow. He was not given a field sobriety test as well. He got pulled over for a tail light out but it was after midnight and officer asked if he’d been drinking. Son admitted to drinking earlier in the evening.

You need to contact an attorney for this and let them receive all the details from your son (the client) so you can be advised properly.

I am not sure about a question in here. But the facts are accurate, you will not be able to get the license with the tax hold. You need to contact an attorney to assist you in the matter.

You need to contact an attorney and get them a copy of the tax letter requesting the information, so they can properly advise you on your question.

Is there anyway I can get those payments sent straight to Georgia from Oklahoma where I currently live. And if my daughter is 21 years old, am I still obligated to pay back child support and...

answered on Feb 2, 2021
You would have to request the case to be transferred to Oklahoma, which may or may not be allowed. As far as the back support - that will still be required because that is money that you were obligated to pay for the raising of your child.
answered on Feb 2, 2021
I am not sure if you have a question here, but if in fact this is accurate you need to notify DHS for an investigation to be opened. If you are wanting to challenge custody, then you need to contact an attorney.
