In most cases there is still a child support obligation when parents share 50/50 custody. Support is based on the incomes of the parents and also the amount of overnight visits. Sometimes the support amount comes out to zero and sometimes it is more than that. The only way to know what the... View More

If you mean does the court appoint an attorney for you like in a criminal case, no.
You would need to hire an attorney to represent you in a divorce case.
She is not unfit mother she cares for all 4 the dad is a truck driver sees his son by court order and he pays for child support he is 14,000 behind now taking her to court to get her to pay child support

Bottom line, she needs to hire an attorney to defend this case. I suggest she do so first thing Monday morning. Where many people go wrong is they wait too long to get an attorney and damage is done to the case that the attorney later may or may not be able to undo.
18. We have 50/50 custody. I left state 3 mos. Later,changed job to 53k a year. Now see child every other weekend. She now wants more child support,though in notorized document she stated she would never ask more child support. Not in decree. Just notorized paper she wrote and agreed to.

You do have a dilemna. By state stautes child support can be agreed to, but not made non-modifiable. It sounds as if you gave up a portion of the community estate to establish lower child support obligation. You may be able to seek relief for violating the decree, ie., she deceitfully entered the...

Is it still not complying with the court ordered payments for 6 of the previous 12 months? Also is paying partial payments considered complying or not since the full amount was not received?
answered on Dec 5, 2020
There is no termination of rights unless it is done in an
adoption proceeding. Must show no support and/or no relationship for 12 of the last 14 months to adopt without the consent of the parent. See an adoption attorney to learn more about the process.
She wants child support since my financial situation has changed.claimed paper will not hold up in court

This is an interesting question. If it was simply a letter waiving child support that probably would not fly but with the house added to the mix that adds a twist. I think the language in your decree would be important so would need to review your decree and the signed agreement to give you an... View More

I don't know anything about your particular case but if I had to guess would say that either you don't have an attorney or it is Covid related.

As with most all things, this would depend on the specific facts of what happened. This is one of those issues where to get a reliable answer you will need to have a detailed consultation with an attorney. The attorney will want to review all of the facts and also ask questions to get to the... View More

There is no such thing as terminating your parental rights in Oklahoma unless the child is adopted or the state terminates rights for abuse. Even when rights are terminated by the state child support is still owed unless the child is adopted.

The answer will depend on if paternity has already been established. To get to the bottom of this contact an attorney so they can review your situation and ask you questions about the background. Once an attorney has all the details they can explain your option.

I am not aware of anything that can be done about this situation at this point. If you want to explore further schedule a consultation with an attorney.
Can I get my payments modified to arrears only The children are 20 and 23
answered on Oct 6, 2020
If you are still paying current support on children that have aged out and finished high school you should be able to terminate the ongoing support obligation and set up a payment on the back support only.
please i don't know what to do

If you have a visitation order you can take action to enforce. If you do not have a visitation order you need to get one. Either way hire an attorney and they will be able to help you with the process.
They were never married, no abuse except for mental abuse from her to him. They have 2 children but my husband accepts her other child as his and we have him when we have the others. Her family says she never has them, either we have them or her mother or sister do. Kids are 8, 9, and 12.

Is it possible? Yes. If the court believes that such an order is in the best interest of the child/children.
I just found out he is enrolled in an alternative program and now CSS wants me to start paying again. How can this be?????
answered on Sep 29, 2020
Child support is paid until the age of 18 unless a child is still in high school and if so continues until the child graduates or reaches the age of 20, whichever occurs first.
My son turned 18 in Jan, and graduated HS in May. I am still receiving the full amount that I've been receiving. I also have a 16 yr old. I was given 2 different responses from 2 different employees at CS enforcement. The NCP was told he could potentially pay more for 1 child than he pays for... View More

My interpretation of the case law is as follows:
The child support order is not for two individual children, but instead is for support of all children. Therefore, just because one of the children reaches the age of majority (18 years of age and graduated from high school) it does not... View More
I was not informed by any courts or the co-parent of any changes to my payments I'm supposed to receive nor do I know how much am I supposed to be getting all together

You need to get a good attorney to look into this. Child Support should not change unless it is ordered by the court.

Even if your child is in college, but has not yet reached the age of 18, typically you are still obligated to pay child support until she reaches the age of 18, being the age of majority in Oklahoma. In some cases, parents have agreed to continue paying for certain activities and support related... View More

No. Child support is paid to the parent or guardian. It is not paid to the child.
My ex husband has informed me that he cannot afford to pay his portion for after school care so he or his mom will be picking up the kids from school and watching them. In our decree he only has visitation 2 days a week after school and he has to pay 60% of childcare costs. He said because there... View More

This is a simple and complex answer at the same time. The court order is what must be enforced. If you are the sole legal custodian, then what you say goes. Plus it looks like it is written right in the order, so it really can't be unilaterally changed by him. On the other hand, if he... View More
