He did not deposit the check into a trust account but into his law firms account. And the check he wrote me came from from his law firm account.

you would want to consult an Oklahoma attorney, but my read would be 1) this is one divorcing person with another--let their attorneys handle it; if they have decided not to use attorneys, be aware that the person texted is getting free information, ammunition possibly. Why stop the flow. (In... View More
