If you already have a custody and visitation order you can enforce that order. If you don't have one, then it sounds like you need one. Contact directly a family law attorney in your local area and they will review all of the details of your case and explain the steps you need to take going... View More 
My ex husband’s lawyer says I clipped them where I wanted to. So they can’t be admitted into evidence.
answered on Sep 18, 2023
The good news is the Judge, not the opposing attorney, decides what evidence will be admitted. With that said, you will likely need your own attorney who knows civil procedure and the rules of evidence to properly present your evidence.
Best of luck!
There is no court order for this and they are trying to bribe him with 5k to sign his rights over even though he wants to see his son is this legal
answered on Aug 16, 2023
If he has custody and the other parent is withholding the child, he needs to quickly take legal action to enforce the court order. The court can only help him if he is takes the proper steps to bring this matter to court.
Best of luck!

If the children were born during the marriage, the husband is considered the legal father. If the husband is not the biological father, then this will need to be addressed in the divorce and there is a procedure to resolve this issue. You will need an attorney to make sure this is done properly.... View More
Just trying to get a better paying job
answered on Aug 3, 2023
The only reason I can think of might be to minimize exposure for child support or possibly support alimony. With that said, I would go to the source and ask the attorney who made that suggestion to explain their strategy and then you will know for sure.
I wish you the best of luck with... View More
complaining party wants done?
answered on Jun 29, 2023
Context and details are always critical, so I think an attorney would need to first know the specific situation you are referring to in order to know whether or not there might be a duty to do, or not do something.
If you have a specific situation, contact an attorney directly (don't... View More
My son has full custody of his daughter and the child’s mother either won’t meet him at the court ordered time and location when he is supposed to get her back after visitation with her mom or she has him driving everywhere to pick up child. There’s more to all of this but that’s about what... View More

If the court order is clear about visitation exchanges, then it is a matter of enforcement of the order. If the order is not clear about exchanges, then it may need to be modified. Meet with an attorney and after the attorney reviews your case they will be able to explain your options and a plan... View More

As easy way to find out if something has been filed is to look at your case on www.oscn.net. If she has filed a Motion to Modify hire an attorney right away.

For instance, if there is a term that states no living together with your significant other for at least a year, would getting married supercede that?
answered on Jun 12, 2023
Maybe. Some decrees will cite an exception for marriage, but some don't. It would boil down to to the exact language used in the decree.

DHS records can be obtained with a court order. The attorney you hire will know the process to get the records.
Best of luck with your case.
I don't have the $ to pay my lawyer to move forward with enforcing the decree settlement how do i do that by myself with out representation?
answered on Jun 7, 2023
I have outlined below a few basic things to get you pointed in the right direction.
1. A good place to start would be to go to your local law library. Study the statutes related to the issues in your case.
2. Make sure you understand the rules of evidence. This will govern what... View More
children were placed in the care of my girlfriends sister and brother in law my girlfriend and i had the same criminal lawyer but he stood in for both sides in our child case so was with us and against us? is that a conflict of interest which should result in a reversal of guardianship
answered on Jun 2, 2023
An attorney would have filed an appearance for either the Guardian or the parents. There will be a copy of the Entry of Appearance in the court file.
To terminate a guardianship, it can either be terminated by agreement, or if the parties don't agree, if the parents can prove the... View More
I do not know of his location or phone number. He walk out a year ago. Havent spoken or seen him sunce. I fiked for divorce. All i need is this form.
answered on May 31, 2023
It's not a form, it's a procedure that will need to be followed to give notice by publication, and it must be approved by the court. Schedule a consultation with a family law attorney in your local area and they will be able to help you.
I wish you the best of luck with your case.

A victim cannot suspend a VPO. Once ordered, only the court can vacate the order.
Best of luck!
She gave me papers about a Temporary Order and a court date hearing. At this point, I'm unable to afford representation in my behalf. How do I respond to the papers handed to me? Do I go to the court hearing date? What is the procedure and process to that?
answered on Feb 20, 2023
Unless you waive formal service, her handing you the documents is not proper service. With that said, now that you know she has filed take the documents she gave you to an experienced family law attorney so that they can prepare a response and begin preparing your case for hearing.
Best of luck!
I need to move out before I'm 18 because I could do more for myself if I was able to be somewhere else. I don't have a job, and can't because I still have no Social Security card or CDIB and I had my aunt order my birth certificate bc if I ask my mom she'll forget and get mad... View More

In Oklahoma, you become an adult at the age of eighteen and at that time a person can make their own decisions.
My youngest son hit the back of front seat and bloody his nose
answered on Jan 10, 2023
The specific details always matter such as the age of the child, size of the child, and exactly how this happened.
If the child was required to be in a booster seat and the parent simply failed to put the child in the seat, that's going to be one thing.
If a parent secures... View More

Depending on the nature of the crime, criminal charges can be a very important factor. If children were removed from the home and you are not sure why, consult with an attorney in private and the attorney can review your case and help you identify the problem.

In Oklahoma, father (on birth certificate) is keeping (under 1 year old) away from mother. Father has protective order against mother and hasn’t let mother see child in over a month. Is there someone she can call to make him give her the child?
answered on Dec 22, 2022
Yes, any family law attorney in your part of the state can help her. Take a copy of the protective order and any other court documents to the attorney. Once they review what has been filed they will then be able to tell you exactly what needs to happen next.
Best of luck and happy holidays.
Particularly like to re-visit custody and child support portions of the decree. Any info is greatly appreciated.
answered on Dec 9, 2022
First thing you should do is take all of your documents to an attorney so they can check the court file and see if either a temporary order or a default decree has been filed. If there has been a default order entered and you catch it quick enough you may be able to seek relief. After sorting out... View More
