I was my understanding we were just waiting for paperwork to be filed and now she says I have to sign them again
answered on May 31, 2017
Not necessarily true, but possible. So why not sign them again if terms still OK.
My husband is a heavy drug abuser and just violated his parole and more than likely will return to jail soon. I havent seen him in over a year, since I left to stay with my parents in Russia. I have injured myself here pretty bad and currently waiting for a surgery, so I cannot physically get to... View More

Hello:
I am new to Justia and noticed your question was posted in April but I do not see where you got an answer. So, better late than never. For a divorce the court requires at least one of the parties to appear and present testimony. I am not aware of any court in Oklahoma that with... View More

Hello:
To file a divorce in Oklahoma the law requires that you be a resident of Oklahoma for six months and a resident of the county where you file for the last 30 days. If your time in Texas was a visit as opposed to a relocation, you may still meet the six month requirement. Ultimately,... View More

When the Court Orders Joint Custody, someone MUST be also ordered to be the primary custodian, which determines where the child should live, and what the visitation time should be for the other parent. The primary custodian is usually the parent who has the child 51% of the time.
She agrees to joint custody. Says it's not about money, a man or moving.

Hello:
What is the time split that is being offered? Is it 50/50 or something different?

Your rights could be set out in your pre nup agreement. Call a family law attorney and make an appointment. Be sure to take your agreement with you.
We also had a mutual agreement that he would help me with any expenses needed involving our 5 year old. When something comes up asking him to help is like pulling teeth. I pay the entirety of our son's medical and he (while living with his parents) is left having to pay nothing. I don't... View More

This is very unusual for a Judge to not order child support. You need to file a "Motion to Modify" the Decree to establish child support, and visitation specifics if needed. The law requires that the payments be made through the DHS Central Child Support Registry, with a "SOSO"... View More

A termination of rights does NOT stop child support obligations until the child is adopted. You would only lost rights of custody and visitation.
Speaking on braces for teeth from private physicians when native american will also provide if needed.

Generally yes, but it can be dependent on the specific language in your decree regarding these expenses.
Can I get into legal trouble.What will be my financial obligations.Thank you
answered on May 5, 2017
You are the father by law, and will be obligated for child support upon divorce.
Divorce was granted in Okla in 1987 but we resumed cohabitation after a year and have lived together and bought and sold a home in Georgia since. Now buying a home in Oklahoma.

No, if you both file a "Joint Motion to Vacate Decree" verified under oath, setting forth the details, and prepare a short Order Vacating Decree, you shouldn't have a problem. I would be happy to review your paperwork, email it to me at gjd1@swbell.net.

What kind of bruises, located where, caused by what? Have you restricted access of your husband to the child since then? Is your husband an abuser? Why are you asking this question now?
Best answer is yes, IF CAUSED BY CHILD ABUSE, and you want to restrict his visitation. But be prepared... View More
Do I need to find someone to drive her between us?
answered on May 2, 2017
Your question is unclear to me. You need to give a fuller explanation. What were you served with? Why do you think you need someone else to transport the child? Please ask again with more details.
He and I haven't been in a relationship with each other in over 3 years. I'm wondering if he can fight the divorce to "save our marriage"
answered on Apr 20, 2017
A simple answer is NO. You should have no problems securing a divorce.
Original decree states me as sole custodian. My Ex filed a motion to modify our decree. We started spending thousands on lawyers and realized both our lawyers were not being honest with us about the other. We came to our own agreement and never finished the amended decree. Does this mean the... View More
answered on Apr 10, 2017
The last order, the Temporary Order is still in effect. My suggestion would be for either you or your Ex draw up your agreement, both sign your approval, and submit to the Judge for filing.
I would be happy to review it for you before it is filed if you send it to me. Visit my website... View More
He left me 6 months into our marriage and got another woman pregnant can i get a divorce based on that
answered on Apr 1, 2017
Yes, no problem, just see a family Law attorney in the county in which you reside.
answered on Mar 31, 2017
Yes, a custodial parent may permit others to care for a child. If your circumstances have changed since the divorce, and you want custody, you should see a family law attorney in the county where your decree is filed.
Also, have you talked to your Ex? If he can no longer care for the... View More

You can draw your decree with help from the Legal Services website. Regarding the joint or sole custody, to a great extent it depends on the Judge. I would draw both sets. DHS has an Excel Template for the Child Support Calculation.

I am assuming your first divorce was never completed. If so, you need to get formally divorced first to be lawfully married. Depending on where you are living, bigamy may require some intent and notice thus a prosecution for such is unlikely.
My spouse used a social security number that be bought to marry me in 03. I didn't know he wasn't legal until 2 years after we married when his fake drivers license expired. We separated in 2012 and he filed for papers and was issued a whole new number. I having seen him or our kids in 5... View More

Yes, a fake Social Security number by itself would not make a marriage invalid.
