They are in AZ but willing to come to Oklahoma to have the baby. Where do I start? How do I bring home the baby when she is born
answered on Mar 10, 2023
If she comes here to have the baby then you will most likely avoid the legal issues of multiple states and thus making it easier and cheaper for you. Kinship adoptions are a fairly simple procedure and most adoption attorneys can assist you and most of us will give a free phone consult to make sure... Read more »

Both lawyers on each side have both put in motion to withdraw from case. Pre trial is march 9 can I file for dismissal of case or what can I file to have case dropped as I can not afford to get another lawyer and it’s a family law case I do not want to go to court with no lawyer due to it...

Step parent adoptions are very common and to answer your question, and based on your given facts, probably yes. There are some avenues we often pursue to get that permitted through the courts. This is not something you will want to do on your own if you suspect resistance. Contact an adoption... Read more »
The guardian (my grandma) kicked me out in December. Does my mom get custody automatically or am I able to go somewhere else safe, since I was taken out of her care.
The guardian kicked me out in December. Does my mom get custody back automatically or am I able to go somewhere else safe, since I was taken out of her care.
My guardian kicked me out and I need to know if my mom gets guardianship of me again automatically or if I would be able to go somewhere else since I was taken out of her guardianship before
So since my guardian kicked me out, would my mom automatically have guardianship or custody of me again or can I go somewhere else safe because she didn't have guardianship.
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... Read more »

In Oklahoma, you become an adult at the age of eighteen and at that time a person can make their own decisions.
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.
Can I file in florida since oklahoma isn't the home state and florida was

In Oklahoma, the child must be a resident within the state for 6 months. Once that is established, it remains that state until another state's residency jurisdiction takes over.
I am teens biological mother but my rights were terminated to her 15 years ago. She has recently been taken by the state again but from her aunt that adopted her and doesn't want her back. she wants to be with me. I don't want them to come pick her up and not sure what I can do at this point
answered on Oct 29, 2022
Unfortunately for you you have no legal standing in keeping her if your rights were terminated. Her aunt “may” grant you guardianship which would essentially give you permission for custody but would not change your status in regards to the parental rights. This is all conditional on the courts... Read more »

Again the answer is the same. The officer does not have anything to enforce because the mutual agreement is an above and beyond clause. The officer can address any definite order from the court - such as a specific holiday or where one person is supposed to meet at a specific time ((that is in the... Read more »

Your question is a bit vague and not sure what the law enforcement provision is regarding to. In general “any other times” is just that times that are not specifically mentioned in the plan (ie. Regular visits, holidays, summer, etc…) and thus these times are merely optional so long as both... Read more »

Due to extenuating circumstances and the fact that my ex has parental alienated my kids that they absolutely refuse to have anything to do with me, do I need her signature to relinquish my parental rights.

Once a parent always a parent until your rights are relinquished as a process of law. You cannot just simply waive the rights unless you are giving consent for a step-parent to adopt. Even if you attempted to waive the rights you are still responsible for support until someone else fills that role... Read more »
