If you want to insure that you'll receive child support, you need to make sure that you get a divorce petition on file as soon as possible. You should get a lawyer to aid you in this process. Contact a licensed family law attorney in Oklahoma for help.

At this point in time, your best play is to get a divorce on file ASAP. If you do that, you can ask the Judge to make specific Orders regarding your property and insure he doesn't hide, destroy, or otherwise get rid of your property. I'd recommend you contact a family law attorney... View More

You may be able to handle your child support action on your own through DHS' Child Support Services office. Most folks go through their process for child support enforcement without the assistance of an attorney.
However, I would always recommend the assistance of an attorney when... View More
I took out a mortgage loan exclusively in my name and solely based on my own personal credit. I then made an offer on a house that was accepted before I got married. The house didn’t close until after I was married. Would it be considered a marital asset under Oklahoma divorce law?
answered on Jul 28, 2019
You must keep a separate bank account on that house if it is to be rented as an investment. All money collected as rent should be put into that account as well as expenses paid on that property should be written on that account. You should not commingle income produced by you or your wife with that... View More

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.

The date of your divorce is the date the Judge granted it notwithstanding that the decree or an amended decree was filed much later. The amended decree you speak of should reflect in the opening lines the date the Judge granted the divorce even though filed weeks later.

Many more facts are necessary to properly answer this question but the short answer is probably, yes.
My son was 17 when we went to court . We were told to go to parenting class before divorce would be granted. My son is now 18. We did not go to the parenting class. How do we proceed with the divorce?

If you have an attorney request him/her to set a date for the final decree. If no attorney was hired by either of the parties, make a joint motion to have your final hearing and get an order signed by the Judge for that hearing date and both of you appear and request the divorce be granted. Since... View More

I would say that you need the services of an experienced family law practitioner licensed in the State of Oklahoma. That person should be able to handle most (if not all) of the issues that you're experiencing now.
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.
answered on Jul 1, 2019
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.

You cannot be married to two people at the same time. You can force your husband to appear for the final hearing in your divorce by setting it for a final hearing and giving him notice to appear on that date. If he doesn't appear, the Judge will grant your divorce by default. He doesn't... View More
I'm currently pregnant by someone else can I still file for divorce by default?
answered on Jun 28, 2019
While you are pregnant, your future-former husband is the presumed legal father of your unborn child, unfortunately. You may be able to still proceed with pursuing a default divorce decree to a point. This will almost certainly require the assistance of a licensed attorney who has experience in... View More

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.
answered on Jun 20, 2019
I'm not entirely certain what you mean by "divorce kit." However, if you're referring to filed out paperwork to file the divorce, do not sign those without having a licensed attorney first review them. Further, do not agree to or sign anything without first consulting with an... View More
