The court has the power to make orders that the court determines to be in the best interest of the children. Best bet is get an attorney if you don't already have one.
Paid in 2 payment. Nowhere does it say this is NOT considered support alimony. Is this deductible? IRS only states basically it needs to be stated as not alimony therefore not deductible but not clear. Deductible or not?
We were both aware that it was a separation and that I was leaving so I could stay with family, get a job, and go back to school.

No, he can't force you to return to Texas, thank goodness, I'm a Boomer Sooner fan, and this is the big weekend for us. If you rely on him for financial support, he could attempt to force you to return by stopping it.

Nothing in my divorce papers that say my child can't be around my live in girlfriend so does the ex have any say in who is around or at my house?
answered on Oct 10, 2017
Some decrees will have language that prohibits this. If not covered in your decree and mother has an issue with this, bottom line is it will boil down to if the court thinks it's in the child's best interest and this will depend on many factors. Schedule a consultation with an attorney... View More
The house was awarded to the ex, and the deed was signed over. But the mortgage is still solely in my name. I cannot finance another property because the ex has not refinanced and the decree doesn't state that the ex has to. How can I get this modified?

I am 14, almost 15 in December. My brother is almost 12, and he has the same joint custody times as I do. Our mom is not really a fit parent anymore. For the past few years she has been depressed. Always screaming at us or complaining about how stuff isn't fair. She is paid by the government... View More

Best bet is to get mom to agree to the change, then have lawyer draw up paperwork, which shouldn't cost much.
Oklahoma law says both you and your brother may express a preference to custody, and judge should follow unless good reason not to. This shouldn't cost to much to get done.

There is nothing the divorce court can do to take your name off of the loan papers. The court will decide who gets vehicles, and who pays what, unless you both agree on this.

Married in 2002, he left me two months later. I did a do it your self divorce. But it was dismissed because he never return the divorce papers. Can he take half of what I own in a divorce. He never supported me in 15 years.
answered on Aug 8, 2017
No he can't. If you file again, he needs to be served by Sheriff, that way he doesn't have to sign anything. Be sure to indicate in your Petition when you separated.
My mother has sole custody and will not consent to this, but can my dad consent?

You are a bit young for a lifetime commitment to another person. What about more education? Can your bf fully support both you and a child that is sure to come soon? How old is he? What kind of employment can he expect with his education? Federal law requires that you both have health insurance, do... View More

Sorry for your problems.
we have been separated since April and I can not afford to file divorce yet. He is currently 3 months behind on house payments and my credit union advised me yesterday they can reposes my car because he is behind. I need to know if i can post it for sale right now before it is foreclosed?
answered on Aug 3, 2017
You could sell your interest in it, if you could find a buyer (you can't) but if both of you are on the title, both of you will have to consent to a sale. If he's not living there and doesn't want to make the payments, maybe he will participate. The mortgage will have to be paid from... View More
