Yes, but only if it can be proven.
Do I have to appear ?
You should always appear for all court hearings with an attorney representing you.
Now my court appointed lawyer withdrew. And told me I need to file a " entry of appearance". How do I do this, and where do I fie it. And what is it for.? I'm so lost and need help before I loose my parental rights to my son. It was a default judgement I was late for court.
It is not possible to teach you everything that you need to know to handle the case over the internet. You really need to hire an attorney right now and see if they can help you set aside the default. Act quickly!!!

You really need a lawyer. You might try legal aid or the OU legal clinic and see if they can help you.
My wife and I have been separated for 9 years. During that time she has had 3 children with 3 different guys. Since Oklahoma law is the fathers name on the birth certificate if you are married is the husband's name, I'm on all 3 of them. I've done 2 denial of paternity already. I'm really confused...

If there were children born during the marriage that are not your children, bottom line is you need an attorney. It must be done correctly.
DO NOT attempt to handle this matter without an attorney or you may find yourself on the hook for all of these children.

You have the option of seeking a modification of the custody order if you believe the other parent is not acting in the best interest of the child.
She has made no attempt to return her and has cut off all communication
You need to take action to enforce your custody order ASAP!!
Yes. Her marital status would have no impact on child support.
My husband pays 400 a month for one kid. He has 5 kids with me that are all his I don't work,child care would be too much. They determined his payments by how much he makes on his check stubs. You can clearly see he doesn't always get overtime and in the winter he sometimes doesn't even get 40... Read more »
The statutes state that support is based on all income which would include overtime.
He needs an attorney to help him with this. He may be able to credit for other biological kids that live in his home. Talk to an attorney before the new support order is filed!
Her second kids father told me that was his daughter now and threaten to beat me up so I just left them alone. Now put of the blue she is requesting child support even though she is engaged to this guy. I don't have any evidence of the other guys message or anything it was from 5 years ago
Visitation has nothing to do with child support. Support is still owed whether or not there has been visitation. You should consult with an attorney and see if a modification of support might help you. I wish you the best of luck.
Any divorce can be a no fault divorce granted on the grounds of incompatibility.

My wife and I are getting divorced. She has possession of the house and wants to keep it in the settlement. The house is entirely in my name ,but she has stopped paying the mortgage.
If the divorce has been filed, there is an ATI (automatic temporary injunction) in place. You need to hire an attorney before doing anything to make sure you do not violate the ATI or anything else that could cause a problem.
My Divorce is on hold because he won't sign or show up and I am living with someone else and pregnant with boyfriends child.
Not without committing a crime. It is not legal to be married to two people at the same time.
Hire an attorney and they will be able to help you resolve this issue.

Your attorney knows everything about your case and is the person who you should ask all questions concerning your case.
You don't need forms, you need an attorney. A child custody case is not a DIY project. If you are in Georgia and need an attorney in Oklahoma, contact some attorneys until you find one you want to work with. Many will do a consultation with you over the phone.
The only way to answer your question would be to review your file.
Now claiming the mans last name. What can be done if anything? I’m in Oklahoma.
You must decided whether or not you want to stay married to this person. If you do not wish to stay married, consult with an attorney about filing a divorce.

A divorce, even a simple divorce, will require a court appearance and testimony.
Whatever you do, don't use documents you find on the internet or documents drafted by anyone other than a licensed attorney.
