He is getting taxes done by a friend there is a way around that I won't receive the money. He is getting married soon and I think that he might be letting her claim our child so I don't get no money in return if he does that How Will I Know and how do I report it

Why is your ex is claiming the child? Is there a court order for him to do this, or have you signed an IRS form to permit this? If not, and you have any income, it's in your best interest to claim the child so you can get a refund from Earned Income Tax Credit. IRS Rules say the person... View More

The adoption process is very complicated, and requires a lawyer to do it. Your mom should hire an experienced family law attorney to help her ASAP. In the mean time, just voluntarily let Mom take care of your baby. I think it's great that you care enough about your baby to see that... View More

Your question is not totally clear. Her rights to an unborn child can't be terminated. If the child she is now pregnant with is the one you want to see, and have a relationship with, do this: AFTER the birth of this child, contact an experienced family law attorney in the area where she...

You should again read your Sentence and Probation papers. You probably will be discharged then. You also should talk to your probation officer to discuss this. Good luck to you. Stay out of trouble.

Sorry I didn't see your question earlier. If you live outside the city limits, no tickets unless your dogs cause harm. If you're inside a city limits, it depends on what the city ordinances provide for.

Sorry I didn't see your questions earlier. It's very difficult to sue DHS and its workers. You, and the person who has custody of her children should visit with experienced injury attorneys about this. I recommend Richardson, Richardson, and Boudreau in Tulsa for this. Ask to see... View More

I'm supposed to receive child support and gained sole custody a few years ago. She chooses not to work or pay the current child support and has not seen the child in over 8 years. So, I am curious if child support can be raised to help cover the costs that she was supposed to cover while in... View More

You have several options in dealing with her. Her parental... View More

Been paying support and back support been caught up on back a few months didn't know that they were taking out for the interest so my question is why and who gets it and what can I do about it
answered on Feb 27, 2018
By state law, delinquent child support draws interest at 10%. If you login to your account with DHS, you will see the breakdown of each payment made and how applied to principal and interest.
Since he pays child support but my gf soon to be wife wants to adopt and (he) the father isn’t on any paperwork or anything is there anything I can do to get his rights completely taken away and stop child support
answered on Feb 27, 2018
When a child is adopted, parental rights and child support are terminated. However since he is paying child support, he must be notified of the proposed adoption. I'll bet he will consent to it since he has shown no interest in the child.
You should consult an experienced Family... View More
Is there a law of age of children on sharing a bedroom in Oklahoma
answered on Feb 26, 2018
No Oklahoma statute or law exists on this subject. You don't indicate who the bedroom is shared with, but it's a matter of parental discretion, and what's in the best interests of the children.

You can go to your local DHS Child Support Enforcement Office, and open a case to collect what's owed. They can do things private attorneys can't like take tax returns, and find bank accounts, and take balances.
Next you should hire an attorney to cite him for contempt on the... View More

Left ex and moved out of state and now i have a warrant
answered on Feb 21, 2018
Yes, as are all felonies. Your best bet would be to voluntarily return to Oklahoma. You should have an attorney to represent you when you surrender. The Warrant will then be recalled. It really beats all of the inconvenience and cost associated with arrest where you now live, and perhaps days in... View More
