abuser. Can you file a restraining order against her? In Oklahoma
answered on Nov 30, 2017
Yes, however if she denies it, with your history, a judge will tend to give her testimony more credibility. I suggest that when it happens, you try to document it with video, or audio recordings. Good luck. Unfortunately most tend to characterize the male as the abuser, but from my 12 years as... View More 
Victim testified that her injuries were severe enough that emsa took her to the hospital where she says they told her she had sustained a concussion. This was her excuse to why she couldn't remember as her answer every time defense counsel asked a relevant question to the great detail she... View More

YES, it would appear to be, IF the DA had evidence that no concussion was suffered. Ask your lawyer to look into it.
answered on Nov 28, 2017
It can be refiled as a felony if the victim suffered "great bodily injury". See 21 OS 644. Search on www.oscn.net.

Candi, since I don't practice in McIntosh county, I don't have any insight, or history of dealing with the DA or the Judges, so I'll just give my general thoughts on this.
If the Ex GF doesn't want to press charges, this does not mean cases will be dismissed. However,... View More
My mom called the cops but i didnt want them there. They made me make a statement but I didn't press charges. I told them I just want to get clothes and say something where else he could stay home.

Gee, I thought I answered this questions a few days ago.
You both are just going to have to wait and see if the DA files any charges. The police can't do this, they just have to file a report, and submit it to the DA who will make the decision. You can check daily on the court website,... View More
We live together and a no contact order would put one of us on the street, he never actually hit me but police kept insisting he beat my ass and took pictures of some red marks that were gone within minutes, I didn't want them to even arrest him and his court date is tomorrow for a bond...

NO, the statute of limitations of 2 years has now run on this incident. You should have contacted the District Attorney right after it was dismissed.

She screams at me and she threatens me when I ask to go to the doctor for health issues I am concerned about. I ask about my wrist and if it's injured but she says it's not and if I persist she threatens to break my hand. On other occasions she says anything other than school is a... View More

She took my kids out the home because me and my husband had a domestic situation. They said they took the kids out of the home because they feared for my safety as well as my kids, he is now locked up and they still will not give me my children back.
the Dom A&B was a deferred but for unknown to me reasons they revoked it within a week of it going off my record
the misconduct is a deferred and I don't know how about getting it off my record (i thought they just fall off)

My boyfriend was arrested 8/25/17 on an alleged dom violence A&B case as well as several other charges, based on his ex’s alleged statements to police. He does have a public defender but she is so overworked that she has not been any help to him, doesn’t return calls, hasn’t tried to... View More
answered on Nov 7, 2017
Sorry, but since you can't hire a private attorney, you're going to have to rely in the Public Defender.
You should have your boyfriend sign a letter authorizing his attorneys to discuss his case with you. Be sure to include your phone, mailing address, and email in the... View More

answered on Nov 5, 2017
You are allowed to have a boyfriend during a divorce. With the facts you presented I would certainly recommend that you hire an attorney. It would not be the best idea to live together during this time and sometimes the judge will even issue a court order saying you cannot.
He's been supposed be finishing this class for a while. He got in the class court ordered in 2014 for domestic assault and battery in front of a minor. He keeps getting kicked out for not going. And he hasn't been in a class since his last court date and he goes back to court in a month.... View More

Probably go to jail or prison depending on whether it was a misdemeanor or a felony, respectively. He needs to start the class ASAP and hire an attorney. Nobody can force him to go to the class. If he doesn’t want to do the class then he can get locked up. Simple as that.
The protective order is the reason the judge says I can't get them they haven't got any reason besides that.
answered on Oct 2, 2017
Your questions are not totally clear, but I think you're saying the mother of your children has a Protective Order against you, is now unstable, threatening suicide, DHS has your kids, and the Judge and DHS won't let you have them because of the PO. This being the situation, Oklahoma... View More

It's not too difficult. If 911is called, they have a record of it, and a recording of anything being said. This is admissible in Court.
On making threats of violence can be more difficult if made in person, or by phone, if the call is not recorded. If by text or email, or other... View More

Consulting with an attorney first is the best course of action. They can tell you your reponsibilities the effect of inaction.
There were witnesses i pressed charges he made bond now and I was told he is filing mutual domestic a&b on me. He doesn't have anymarks on him at all I'm the one with a bite mark scratches bruises and a busted lip. Can he really press charges on me after he's been bonded out?
answered on Sep 6, 2017
It's highly unlikely that the DA would file such charges. Don't worry about it.

My bf got arrested on 8/29 when his father called the police bc they got into a physical altercation. After 2 days of calling the clerk's office for info, they gave me a bond amount of $25,000! I asked what was he being held for? The woman told me it was for a failure to appear and for $300... View More
answered on Sep 1, 2017
My best bet is that he owes the court about $2500 in fines and costs. SOME Judges set bail on costs cases at 10 times the amount owed. Fees from a bail bondsman for a $25000 bond would be 1/10th of the
bond, or $25,000.
Get it? He might as well payoff fines, rather than... View More
