Gary Johnston Dean's answer
He can be charged in Oklahoma with a felony (prison time) when delinquency is over $5000. See your local state child support agency to refer to Oklahoma for help. Also, you can try to hire an experienced family law attorney in the county where he lives to assist in trying to get felony charges filed. This can be the very best way to get payments. Good luck.

Q: If my parental rights were terminated will Tulsa Oklahoma take my future children I give birth to?
Gary Johnston Dean's answer
From the details you gave in your question, it appears that you have eliminated the reason for termination of your rights. But PLEASE Don't have a child until you are in a long term stable relationship, and are married, and no longer use marijuana without a very good medical reason, and a doctors Rx if you continue. It's too early to tell what position DHS will take on it without a Rx.

Q: My boyfriend left his marriage 11 years ago. How can he file for divorce?
Gary Johnston Dean's answer
He must serve her with notice of filing of the divorce. If he knows where she is, it would be best to hire a private process server to serve her. If he can't locate her, she can be served with notice by publication, and should get a lawyer to help make sure it's done right. You can continue to live together after he is divorced, but can't get married for 6 months. Good luck.

Q: My sister was Caretaker for our Mom and stole $21000 from her retirement acct and spent it on Oxy (#600). What can I do?
Gary Johnston Dean's answer
There is a very good reason you MUST seek to have criminal charges filed against her not covered by other answers. If it becomes necessary for mom to be placed in a nursing home when she is out of funds and seeks Medicaid, the other family members may be required to pay the stolen money back into her account to use for her care until her assets are down to $2000. They examine her finances for the past 5 years, and gifts to family must be paid back to her. Consult an experienced Social...
