He said he had probable cause but they all say that and that he was allowed to search the vehicle. He found a bowl worth of marijuana and threatened me with a felony cause he told me since I'm a tribal member on tribal land it's a felony to have marijuana
answered on Feb 22, 2022
It depends on the agencies. There are agencies that are cross-commissioned which means the “city” cop may also be a tribal cop as well.

Oklahoma allows pro se representation so no you do not have to use a lawyer. However I would advise you to use one because there are a lot of things that can get missed if you are not familiar with the process.
Non custodial is behind in child support but is making payments. The visitation is court ordered and is not being denied by non custodial but not being followed by custodial due to no communication at all for the last 4 years, despite non custodial and family reaching out.

From the limited information your best bet is to contact a family law attorney for a motion to enforce. However without fully researching the facts of your case this is a general recommendation.
I need more time because DHS is wanting to take custody of her. The DHS worker has mentioned my mom to take temporary guardianship. If I sign temporary guardianship to my mom will DHS drop the case
answered on Feb 13, 2022
DHS may or may not drop the case. However, by your parents obtaining guardianship would allow the DHS worker to let your child remain in the care of a family member and not go into foster care in the event DHS stipulates you having to correct some items. If you feel there is validity to the... View More
Can I get prosecuted for stealing
answered on Feb 9, 2022
Are you married still? Are the any injunctions in place? Do you have access to the account normally? However, you will not probably get a direct yes or no answer on this from any attorney because there are always many facts that go into things. Contact a family law attorney to assist you in...

Instead of moving her from everything she knows, I have allowed her to stay there with her father. I speak to her daily, video chat, and visit 1-2 times each month.
Our custody agreement is old and outdated. Her father has recently begun a trend of not responding to occasional questions... View More

You can file a modification but from what you are saying you may not meet the significant change standard required to get the modification. Depending on the wording of your previous custody order you may be better with a motion to enforce if there is something that is not being adhered too. Contact... View More

Your father filing a Quit claim deed would be your easiest and cheapest way.
He coded in Surgery and was placed on a ventilator and has not woke up in a week. Doctors are not sure why and the wife is not doing enough or pushing for testing. She is just waiting. Can his adult child make medical decisions over her and how if possible?
answered on Feb 8, 2022
The only way the adult child could override the spouse is if there is an advanced directive that designates the child as a proxy for decisions.
answered on Feb 7, 2022
That would exceed the power of the DA. The DA could request it but the judge judge would have to order it, unless it is through the DHS.
Currently living in Oklahoma with father of my child
answered on Feb 6, 2022
This is not a simple yes or no. There are many factors involved and would also depend on your current custody order.
I owe back payment but I thought if you made the monthly payment they couldn't take your taxes. They didn't take it last year
answered on Feb 6, 2022
In short, yes it is within the ability of CSS to take taxes to pay for arrears.

Sorry for your loss. This time is always challenging. Is there a question you are wanting to ask?
He took me off joint bank accounts, cell phone plans and car insurance this past fall 8/21-12/21. 1/5 he turned off access to hot water and washer and dryer. I had surgery 1/7 and I'm currently staying with family in Missouri recovering.
answered on Jan 20, 2022
In most situations there are automatic injunctions put in place to prevent the changing of bank accounts, insurance, and utilities and the like. You need to consult with an attorney on this so that you can be represented fully. To your other question, yes you can ask, and file a joint affidavit... View More
..house assaulted me and sends me vulgar messages about what her in my husband do Waffle House has a no fraternizing policy I have contacted Waffle House and informed them of this and I've done nothing is there anything I can do?
answered on Jan 11, 2022
You cannot force Waffle House to do anything. You, however can file a police report for the assault and harassment against her. Additionally you can file for separation/divorce against your husband if you are not able to reconcile. Good luck to you.
He got an online DNA test kit after I moved from Missouri to Illinois, and he found out she is his after I moved to Illinois. He still doesn't know I moved, and hes been making threats to try and take me to court to get full custody of her. The courts have no reason to Grant him full custody,... View More
I am a felon and I'm trying to work at the thunder games and they say I need to obtain a license can I do this?
answered on Jan 5, 2022
What are you attempting to sell and how long has it been since the felony conviction? More information is required to fully assess your question.
answered on Jan 5, 2022
Because, in a lot of cases it is better for you to seek counsel. What often appears like "common sense" may in fact be the opposite of what years of case law and statutes have said. This is where the lawyer and judges may, not always, be more capable in actual knowledge of the law. I... View More
Can a parent make a donation to the school (501c3) and then ask for the money back if they move or enroll their child elsewhere?
answered on Jan 5, 2022
The parent can ask - but there isn't anything requiring the refund. There is no federal law, and most states classify the donation as a gift and therefore no longer the property of the person giving the donation, and thus not required to be returned. However, if the funds were donated with... View More
Her mother told her to pack her bags and get out and she never wants to see her again. I live in Oklahoma. Am I able to go get this child without legal repercussions?
answered on Jan 4, 2022
Yes and no - or better yet - it depends. Since the child is a resident of Florida you will need to talk to a licensed attorney in Florida to establish a guardianship and then you would be able to bring the child here. But without that in place I would be cautious.

This is one for the insurance companies to fight out but if you turned into them and they were sitting still then most likely you will be responsible party because you are responsible for your car in movement and making sure to clear obstacles.
