What court forms do I need to file
answered on Sep 11, 2021
I'm not aware of any forms, but a form would not help you anyway. If you are trying to get joint custody in a paternity case, you are going to need an attorney. There are many excellent attorneys in your part of the state. Contact a few and hire the one you feel comfortable working with on... View More
When emergency protective order was made, the petitioner added special condition that once a week the defendant would receive a phone call from a restricted number to be able to speak with minor child. The petitioner has only called twice in a year.

I think your first step is to have an attorney review what you have. If there is no existing custody order, your next step should be to obtain an initial custody determination in the District Court. Then, that order can be enforced. Hire an attorney to help you get this done.
Best of luck.

You should consult with a family law attorney. Most will give a free consult and that may be all you need. However, it may require a little more than the consult in order to determine the relevant information in your case. There is a chance you have sole custody for now but that doesn’t mean it...

Based on that, you need to hire an attorney and let them go through your case to determine exactly what has happened, and your best course of action to move forward.

You will need to hire an attorney to investigate all these issues. Hospitals are usually very stringent on the POA because a general POA normally does not include medical issues. Consult with an attorney sooner than later.
I know Ive heard of Pro Bono but does that service even exists - I was represented by a legal aid attorney recently and I would have been better off representing my self.

Most pro bono attorneys are referred cases that Legal Aid does not have time to handle.

Judges always combine the PO hearing with the pending family law case. Why did you show up to the hearing if you were not served? If you appear at the hearing you submit yourself to jurisdiction of the Court usually. The Judge will probably strike the 90 day review. They set review hearings so... View More

Do I have to pay for child support cuz we are together and we don't want to do anything with child support cuz she knows I will pay for anything that child needs and she needs
answered on Aug 24, 2021
No, you don't have to pay child support if you are together. Your child can receive benefits if you are on SSDI.

Son's dad moved to Florida only met my son for ten minutes. Has no bond with him hasn't helped support him an now wants to be involved is that not child abandonment can his rights not be terminated?
answered on Aug 19, 2021
Unless there is a court order stating otherwise then it is still his son and he has rights. As far as the second part of your question in terminating his rights - there are two ways to terminate a parents rights and both require the role to be filled by another. 1) is a step parent adoption, or 2)...

Mother makes the daughter feel bad for leaving her. So the daughter won't go with the father. Police have been involved but won't tear daughter from mother. Understandable, but it is court ordered. So, can the police issue a contempt ticket on spot or do we need to go to court?
answered on Aug 17, 2021
I agree with the other attorneys. If it is your visitation that is being denied hire an attorney to enforce your visitation. There is a procedure that is much faster than contempt to enforce visitation order. Your attorney will be able to explain your options.
He signed a waiver denying paternity also saying he know he is his through vital records what does that mean
answered on Aug 15, 2021
Not sure your exact question but paternity issues can be very complex or very simple. Many factors come in to play, one being the birth certificate that you mentioned, the age of the child, etc…. You should contact an attorney to help you with this so that something is not missed.
Paternity decree states if father is in the area, he is allowed in person visits as long as he gives mother a 10 day notice. The visits will be supervised by mother and last three hours if parents can not decide on a time and there will be no more then two visits in one week. Father has asked for a... View More

An attorney would need to actually see your order before trying to give you specific advice. With that said and in general terms, if a parent comes from Oregon and wanted to visit two days while in Oklahoma, I would have to believe a court would find that to be a reasonable request.

You have no legal rights as a step parent unless a Court Order states otherwise.
