I don't know what kind of paperwork you're looking at, so can't answer question.

I strongly urge you to consult an experienced family law attorney for help.

You don't say how the dog is listed in the divorce decree. If the decree says she gets the dog and it has not been signed by the Judge - don't sign the decree. If the decree says she gets the dog and the Judge has signed the decree then the decree is enforceable. Dogs are considered... View More

The law allows you to go back to any former name when the divorce is granted. So if you have a previous married name, you can return to that name. If you have no former name other than your maiden name, you can still change your name to anything by filing a name change case. Basically, you say... View More

It really depends on the wording of your decree. The IRS has its own rules about which parent can claim the children on their taxes and they often don't care what a decree says. However, and this is very important, a divorce decree is an enforceable court order and disobeying it can put you in... View More

The ATI is statutory and is something that has to be put in place so the parties cannot directly control another party by terminating insurance or not paying bills etc…. You can mutually agree to not have it but if it is not mutual then it is not negotiable and mandatory.

Without reviewing all the appropriate documents it is hard to determine. However, usually she gets half of his retirement that was acquired (and interest there in) during the marriage.

It depends - if this was information that was obtained during discovery and those people were mentioned but without names and they are an integral part then they can be required. The discovery code is complex and your attorney should be able to advise you in this matter.

you would want to consult an Oklahoma attorney, but my read would be 1) this is one divorcing person with another--let their attorneys handle it; if they have decided not to use attorneys, be aware that the person texted is getting free information, ammunition possibly.

While I can respect your position you need to contact an attorney to assist you with this because this is not something you want to try to do alone.
