Grandparents rights are a moving target in Oklahoma and for the most part grandparents rights are those given by the parents of the child. If your son has no official rights established through the courts then you are just another person and not technically a grandparent (legally).

The attorney will have this (or should) - and a consent has to be given in front of a judge who normally conducts adoptions. If you need assistance most of the members on here will give a free phone consult.

In most situations you can deviate from the guidelines, especially if both sides have an attorney, or more specifically the one who would be affected more than the guidelines would reflect. In other words if the one receiving was getting less, if that person was represented, or if one was paying... View More

If it is simply just a POA in which you grant power to someone, you simply can revoke that. However, this sounds more like a Guardianship. Due to the specifics in your case, you need to consult with an attorney rather than the reliance in a general forum such as this. Best of luck to you.

Typos are natural. It won’t get dismissed because of that, if you make it an issue the other party only has to resubmit it as an amended petition, but the petition is not the final decree, so it’s really not a major issue ‘normally’. You must answer the petition/summons within the allotted... View More

This is an Arkansas case and Arkansas law. You could ask an attorney in Arkansas how it affects adoptions within their state (or connected to their state if it is an ICPC adoption).

The date filed typically, however, if it is proven the person actively avoided being served that could potentially extend the time.

I agree with Mr. Louden - another potential aspect could be if there was a job history issue, and therefore the attorney is thinking more along the lines of having to argue for/against stable employment.

Technically it is still a state statute making it a felony. However, it has been rarely enforced since the 1960s. With the texas case of Lawrence it has become even more challenging because it’s a privacy issue between two consenting adults. Even though that case was a sodomy case between same... View More

No this is not a HIPPA violation. When a person is in custody, medical staff have a right to be secure in their safety, if an officer is present then that is allowed.

Property taxes are still due regardless of how you obtained the property. Therefore the county can do that. The part that is not allowed is 'income tax' on the value of the property. It cannot be shown as income against you, assuming other factors do not apply, but since you are asking... View More

It is unfortunate that you feel the judge is ignoring procedure and the opposing party is getting away with things you do not agree with. You will not find any such forms here. This is a forum to get general answers to questions. I am not sure why you are unable to retain an attorney, but if you... View More

No they are not required to tell you how much. The court clerk will be able to tell you the exact cost. You can just call them and ask, alternatively most have online payments and will have the amount when you put in the ticket number.

A booster seat is not allowed until after they turn 4. So while the booster seat may have buckled fine in the front seat it isn’t a car seat. Therefore the patrolman was correct in the citation of failure to use child restraints because the child was not in an actual car seat. For reference here... View More
