She has a court date but that's all I know. What can I do
What you need to do is hire an attorney if you want to fight for guardianship of the kids.
Some additional information would be helpful in order to answer your question.
What specific law are you referring to?
Did an attorney say a law was not followed or is a pro se litigant saying a law was not followed?
What type of case: criminal, family, civil, protective order, etc?

Parental rights in Oklahoma are only terminated in connection with an adoption or for abuse/neglect in a deprived child action. If there is a guardianship where someone else has control of your kids that does not terminate your rights, but it can give that person the right to have possession of... Read more »
Follow up to a previous question, thanks.
Calling police won't help as this is a civil matter. The court enforces visitation orders, not the police.
If she denies the court ordered visitation you can hire an attorney to enforce your visitation. The other option is if it is only one day of visitation that is at issue you... Read more »
She made plans on my day and has told the kids she is going to keep them whether I agree to allow her to or not. Could I call the police?

There has to be someone to take the place of the parent being terminated. The only way to terminate rights is through an adoption or when DHS takes over to terminate. So in short, until you have been married for a year and have a step-parent adoption he stays on the books as father.
We don't know if we need to petition something again or have him served with the new court orders?
If the judge extended it then your next step is go to the next hearing date. Not knowing any of your specifics makes it challenging to answer otherwise. As Gary mentioned week a family law attorney for better guidance.
No- counseling is not mandated. The only thing that will be required is the co-parenting class. I have seen this class waived for one parent if they are not receiving any visitation, but anyone receiving visitation/custody will have to go to the class.
In the Child custody plan my ex is entitled to claim our “minor” child on his taxes, with the proper form. Is this still in affect, now that he is no longer a minor?
It depends on if the child still in high school and the language of your court order. Have an attorney review your order and the facts of this matter for a reliable answer.
It states that we can’t file to modify until the 18 months is up. That is coming up. She lives in ND and i live in OK. How will support be calculated for 2 children now that i am making less and in a different state?
If your case/order is in North Dakota then you will need to contact a ND licensed atty to assist you.
There is not enough information here to know what is going on with this case. With that said, if there is a threat that children may be removed by the state the guardians and the parents each need to hire attorneys right now. It is always better to take action to try to prevent the removal than... Read more »

A caseworker states false affidavit then resigns the judge denied cross examination or a continuance when I had factual evidence contradictory to caseworkers statement and affidavit
