If he has custody and the other parent is withholding the child, he needs to quickly take legal action to enforce the court order. The court can only help him if he is takes the proper steps to bring this matter to court.
Best of luck!

There is no law that allows a divorce court or case to be transferred from one state to another. Each state has its own divorce courts. Once a divorce case has been properly began in one state, that state retains jurisdiction through the entry of the final decree. It sounds to me from your... View More

The way to get a release of judgment for back child support is by paying the back child support. If you cannot afford to pay the arrears, you may need to look for a way out of your contract, otherwise, the buyer may be entitled to sue you. This is something your attorney should have discussed...

If I have had my child all her life and were residents of Oklahoma, her dad is in texas, which state child support laws does child support follow texas or Oklahoma?
answered on Apr 26, 2023
This is dependent on previous court orders. If the Oklahoma court has established jurisdiction over the child then Oklahoma calculations would be used. Likewise for Texas. If there is not orders in place then you would use the resident state of the child, because that state has more of an interest... View More

Step parent adoptions are very common and to answer your question, and based on your given facts, probably yes. There are some avenues we often pursue to get that permitted through the courts. This is not something you will want to do on your own if you suspect resistance. Contact an adoption... View More
My dhs lawyer has been going back and forth for almost 3/4 months trying to get the discovery for our case from the courts and they keep beating around the bush. Now they are not even responding to him. I know that the discovery does not have to legally be given out (even though we are entitled to... View More

I don't know what discovery the courts would be providing to you. Generally its the opposing party that you are requesting documents/information from and if they fail to comply with discovery requests you file a Motion to Compel. Your DHS attorney probably knows this.
I have been paying her but now that her income is more they are telling me with joint 50/50 no one pays child support. Is this correct?

it's possible that neither parent is required to pay child support to the other. This is because the court may consider the shared financial responsibilities and equal time spent with the child as a factor in determining child support obligations.
She is saying she filed and has received service papers with a court date but I was never served. I don’t know if she is lying about filing.

As easy way to find out if something has been filed is to look at your case on www.oscn.net. If she has filed a Motion to Modify hire an attorney right away.

Only if the funds are used to support the child. It would be better for the actual custodian was paid.

You should contact a family law attorney to assist you. Child support is not normally something anyone can get out of with a prenuptial agreement.
DHS is not involved in any capacity other than as a pass through for payments. I'm aware that future payments will no longer be required. Arrears was being pursued pro se and only by her. Does this also cancel the contempt case on child support as well. Could I also ask her to drop arrears... View More

You should contact and familY and adoption attorney to best evaluate your specific scenario. However, I would suspect they could negotiate a term for your consent to waive anything in arrears. While this is not guaranteed if an awoc is being pursued, it could be something pursued through a consent... View More
For 7 months to Graduate. Will my husband still have to pay child support in Oklahoma.
answered on Mar 4, 2022
Child support will have to be paid in accordance with the child support order - most likely until graduation but can be longer, for instance some decrees stipulate even through college. In order to get it changed there would need to be a modification to the order.
we had a custody change as my child needs to know their siblings, they then lived with biological father at the time he(bio-father) owed over twenty thousand, I was under the understanding his back amount would be reduced from any amount that was asked of me to pay( not the case), my child is now...

You should file to modify custody and ask the Court to make you the custodial parent with visitation to the other parent. You need a court order that says you are the custodial parent.
I was about to file for contempt of court and see if I could get the order dismissed and some custody. Do I have to let him do his visitations again? He’s done this multiple times where he’ll call for a month or two and stop because he’s mad that I won’t give him money even though he’s... View More

If there is a court order that is granting him visitation, then you have to allow him the opportunity to follow that. If he chooses to not visit, that is his choice, but you cannot violate the court order. You can still file a motion to modify visitation and enforcement of child support, but in... View More

It sounds like that is what has happened, so yes, it can happen. My experience is this sometimes happens when the other parent is receiving some type of state benefits.
I have also seen more than a few cases where the other parent denies requesting the modification, only to later learn they... View More
