You need to contact an attorney and let them review all your file and have them file any appropriate papers for you. Trying to handle things like this pro se are not advisable.
i get thretend and im not loved as much asi would like and i dont get treated right.
Children (minors) cannot just be given away legally, more specifically the parental rights still remain with the parent. There are legal avenues that can be taken.
Okay he’s 20 And I’m in the dhs system but live with my grandma I want to know if there is anyway I can get consent from the person I’m staying with and a price of paper signed and legalized to state we are allowed to date and get rule and boundary so we don’t get into trouble we are not...

You would have to discuss this with your legal guardian.
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.
We had a temporary order put into place for a 2-2-3 schedule. After that was put into place my sons father stopped doing anything with the courts and it was recently closed due to inactivity. On OSCN it says count 1 and party as my name where it shows the judge closed the case. He is the one who... Read more »
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...

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.
There are very few resources for free legal services other than legal aid unless you are Native American. If you are Native American then you can contact the tribe to see if they have free legal... Read more »
Did you have a legal question?
Juge signed can i pick up my daughter
You don't say whether there has been a hearing or not. Normally when you file to terminate guardianship there is a court hearing after the Motion to Terminate is filed and notice is given to the party that is the current guardian. However, if the current guardian has signed their approval to... Read more »

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... Read more »
She is mentally I'll, drug abuse, over doses, violent, reckless
Just explain the situation and your reasons for the request to your attorney and the attorney will know how to make the request in your pleadings.
Even tho the Step parent and biological parent has been together for almost 6 years
Yes, he/she is not a step parent unless you are married.
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?
Unless there is a court order stating otherwise then it is still his son and he has rights.

Yes, the father can file a Paternity action and request the court to enter a custody, visitation, and child support order. The court will award custody and visitation based on what the court determines to be in the best interest of the child. Child support will be based off the gross income of both... Read more »
The family willing to let me stay with them, would help me get my car back, get a job and help me with an apartment. And my biological family said I could leave.
You could file a petition for emancipation with the court.
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?
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
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... Read 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.
There is an upcoming show cause hearing due to Judge granted the Writ of Habeas Corpus a 2nd time. Is there a punishment or charges he could be facing for not returning the kids to me?
A contempt citation might be an option and if he is found guilty he could have to pay your attorney fees. Consult with an attorney to discuss in more detail and explore your options.
