First thing is hire an attorney now. Dont wait until later. Do not make any statememts to police or discuss this case with anyone other than your attorney.
Why is DHS still taking the full amount of support, $556, even though both of my kids have turned 18 (as of 1/16/21) and are out on their own? Since the case was established $506 went to current and $50 went to back. I thought once current ended only the $50 for back would be collected unless she... View More

DHS will often continue to take out the same amount unless/until the wage assignment is changed. You can get an attorney to help you try to lower the payment. You can also request an accounting of payments.

Do you have an attorney representing you and supervising the paralegal?
My daughter wants to change her last name to mine, her mom, she’s 14 almost 15. I have filed the petition and a hearing has been set. I know he lives in the city but that’s it. I was told to publish it in the paper so he has the opportunity to object. He’s not really in her life and not in a... View More

In addition to publication you may need to also serve the father notice. Name changes are covered by 12 O.S. Sec 1631. If you are not sure what to do or how to do it, you can save a lot of time and frustration by hiring an attorney to help you.
Best of luck!

You need an attorney. In OKC, they have attorneys on contract that represent parents when DHS is trying to take your kids from you. Contact the juvenile court in Tulsa and see if someone can get an attorney assigned to you if you cannot afford private counsel. Good Luck!

"How can I get rid of a supervised visitation order?"
You would need to modify the order that requires supervised visitation. If you believe there is no longer a need for supervised visits hire an attorney to assist.
The mother is also my mother, and when I ask for them to for example not put their mouth in babies mouth for health concerns, they steam roll over me saying they’re the parents and they can do what they want, but they aren’t even deemed safe by the dhs.

As my colleague stated you can always request a neutral third party to be the supervisor. However, while they are technically correct that they are the parent, there is a reason the guardianship was put in place and it is your job to protect the best interest of the child. You may also try to get... View More

The noncustodial parent does not have custody and has not paid anything since it was ordered by court during the divorce finalization.
answered on Jul 13, 2021
It sounds like the pursuit of the non custodial parent was cancelled. Contact DHS to find out the status if you are the custodial parent. They will explain it to you.

With the mothers Attorney against me? Is that not a conflict of interest?
answered on Jun 12, 2021
Same answer. The attorney and the former judge will probably know and have worked with many of the other local attorneys. Not necessarily a conflict.
You should have your own attorney and then you won't have to worry about who is representing the other party.
Also, can the Assistant District Attorney be a friend with the mothers Attorney, and has also worked with the mothers Attorney?
answered on Jun 11, 2021
An attorney who has been around for a while usually knows the other local attorneys who practice in the same area of the law.
