I just am, wondering if its legal to get the papers this way or if there is an easier/ cheaper way. Also I do not know what this will include

When you download documents from the internet there is no telling what you will get. Never rely upon any documents other than those produced by an experienced attorney. As with all things, it is much cheaper and faster to have it done right the first time.

No. There are only two ways to terminate parental rights in Oklahoma.
1) the child is adopted or 2) the state can terminate rights for abuse or neglect in a deprived child case.
If you ever get married again and your husband wants to adopt the child the child may be eligible for... View More

Neither party is allowed to sell, transfer, destroy, or allow to devalue items that could be considered marital property. The short answer is to have your attorney file a motion to compel the other party to cease these activities and return the the insurance and motorcycle to the way it was before... View More
If the person the protective order was filed against is in a building and the person that filed the PO parks right behind that other persons car and tries to come in, is that a violation?

The person who files a protective order cannot violate the protective order. The rule of thumb is the person who has the protective order filed against them must leave the premises if the person who was granted the protective order enters. With that said, if you have reasonable evidence that the... View More
Tag is exspired insurence is about to end and i dont think he will make the payment.

If the vehicle is titled in both your names, it is hard to represent it as stolen since he has a valid claim of ownership. I don't think you have a way through police or the DA's Office to get the vehicle back. The only thing that comes to mind is small claims court. The argument is a... View More
We stayed at the father in law's home in OK for over 6 months with intent to return to our home in TX. His health never improved. But we never changed addresses.

A person must live in Oklahoma six months to file a divorce and in the county where it was filed for the last 30 days. If there is a dispute over jurisdiction it would be decided by the judge.

We had our mediator include this in our papers to file. If I go ahead and refinance do we have to redo those papers before our hearing?
answered on Dec 9, 2019
The real issue is whether you are both on the original mortgage, or if you are going to be on the new mortgage alone. The quick answer: If you document the agreement with your spouse that he agrees to you refinancing the mortgage, there is no problem. He can sign his portion of the house to you in... View More

It depends on a lot of things. Whether their are children involved. The amount of assets (houses, cars, retirement accounts). It also depends on how many things your and your to-be ex agree on these issues already. Most attorneys will ask for a retainer or $1500 to $2500 and they will bill off... View More
Nothing has happened in our case since December 13th of last year and all we did was make our first appearance we are legally still married I just need to know if the papers expire or what it's been over a year with nothing done

The case hangs on until the parties or the court take an action to dismiss the case. Some courts clean up their dockets regularly, others not at all.
I can't afford an attorney. I live in Oklahoma. Do I write a letter to the petitioners (soon to be ex) attorney or just appear in court?

If it’s just in the initial stages you have to file an answer to the petition. If you’ve been paying a while you have to file a motion to modify.

Not completely sure what question you are asking? Although it is not suggested, co-habitation of the marital residence of the divorcing couple does happen on occasion. Child custody comes in two forms: Legal custody and Physical custody.
Legal custody involves life decisions for the child... View More
I produced a dna test during the divorce and the judge threw the DNA test out and forced me to pay child support
answered on Nov 4, 2019
I suppose your question is why you have to pay and he threw out the test. There are certain laws governing children born during the marriage which could be used in your circumstance to do what the Judge did in not allowing the test results. If you lived with the mother and child for two years for... View More

You are joint owners of the property and the home on it. Depending on how much equity is in the home, this might be a great opportunity to buy out his portion of the ownership of the home and get rid of his input altogether. if that isn't possible, then you could file a motion to compel him...
