Motions to vacate generally must be filed within 30 days after the filing of the judgment, provided the judgment was mailed to the parties within 3 days. After the 30 day time period, requests to vacate must be done by petition. If the 30 day time period falls on a Saturday or Sunday, you have... Read more »
My husband moved my children out of state with out judges permission an mine he made it seam like it was a visit but he has moved
You really need to hire an attorney for this type of action. It i a breach of the child custody order and would be considered contempt. There are certain hurdles a person must jump through if they move more than 75 miles or outside the agreed distance in the decree or paternity order.
Assuming that the property is purchased during the marriage then this is marital property and thus any sale of such property would be martial property as well. To be more specific contact a family law attorney as there are more than likely other facts that can sway how this question is actually... Read more »

There are specific notices that have to be given and if they sent it to your last known address then they most likely have met that obstacle (they are not responsible for keeping track of every place a person lives but the last known address, because in some cases, those people are bouncing around...

My husband is in the middle of a custody battle over his daughter. The mother of the child signed a document giving up her rights on her own accord in front of a notary. It was then filed with the court. At a pretrial hearing the judge dismissed it and helped her get a lawyer. Is this legal or did... Read more »
In Oklahoma there is no such thing as giving up or signing away parental rights absent an adoption or having rights terminated by the state. The fact that there was a notary makes no difference.

The document is an unenforceable document therefore the judge disregarding that is correct. In Oklahoma, there are 2 ways of giving up parental rights; 1) During a legal adoption proceeding where the parents voluntarily (or involuntarily in some cases) consent and give up their rights, or 2) DHS...

Im trying to see what the odds are of getting soul custody of my son. Hes 10 months old and his father is bad into drugs and lives in his car because his ex kicked him out. He does have a job at a gas station but has only helped me twice since my son has been born with diapers. He never sees my son... Read more »
Not sure what your legal situation is at the moment, so it makes it hard to answer your question. There are two types of custody: Legal and Physical Custody. Legal Custody is about making decisions for the child. Examples would be where to go to school, church, medical treatment, etc. Physical... Read more »
My still husband just found out that there is a mask mandate at our daughters school. He now refuses to send her to school for religious reasons ("do not fear") and wants her to be home schooled by him. I want her to go to school! I am working 40 hrs/week and can not homeschool her. Since... Read more »
Bottom line: if you cant come to an agreement and you feel strongly enough about going to school you will need to do whatever it takes to hire an attorney so you can seek a court order directing that the child attend school. I wish you the vest of luck with your case.
My daughter and her husband are separating. My SIL has a 16 year old daughter from a previous marriage. She has made comments that she doesn't want to leave and wants to stay with my daughter. Is she allowed to make that decision.
This is going to depend on what the parents want to happen.
A few general rules are:
1) Children don't make decisions.
2) A step parent would have no legal rights to the child unless both biological parents agreed for her to stay here.
3) The biological... Read more »
seems like you are requesting an price estimate? Without more information, it is impossible to answer your question. Sorry.
please i don't know what to do
If you have a visitation order you can take action to enforce. If you do not have a visitation order you need to get one. Either way hire an attorney and they will be able to help you with the process.
They were never married, no abuse except for mental abuse from her to him. They have 2 children but my husband accepts her other child as his and we have him when we have the others. Her family says she never has them, either we have them or her mother or sister do. Kids are 8, 9, and 12.
Is it possible? Yes. If the court believes that such an order is in the best interest of the child/children.
If you do not already have a visitation order hire an attorney to help you petition the court for a visitation order.
Idk what to do. N I feel bad cus I promised I would never put her like in a nursing home but i don't know what to do. She has pushed her friends away n has gotten very cruel n mean to me...idk what I do cus I never imagined this happening.
I'm not certain exactly what the question is here so I will try and answer this generally. There are different types of durable powers. A general durable power gives you the right to make financial decisions for another person at any time whereas a springing durable power would only allow you... Read more »
We are living at different homes and she explicitly said I could sleep with other people, which is saved in a text message. Is it possible for her to attempt saying I cheated on her despite having her permission?
Oklahoma is a no fault divorce state so under most situations none of this matters.
By default a child born of a marriage is presumed to be a child of that marriage, therefore any challenge to that has to be brought by a challenging party claiming to have rights. I assume based on your question your husband and the biological father are not one in the same. Therefore, even if... Read more »
The female partner, 72 years old, has always referred to herself as the "significant other," not as a wife. The male partner is 86 years old and not medically well.
Common Law marriage is a grey area in Oklahoma. If someone tells you that it doesn't exist, then they are wrong. It very much exists, just with some different terminology. There are some things that have to be shown to prove that a non-ceremonial union exist and there are many ways to... Read more »
This question is not as easy as step 1 - 2 - 3. Generally, once an adoption is finalized, then it is non-reversible. There are a few exceptions to this rule, however these exceptions are challenging to prove. This is something that you will need an experienced adoption attorney to help you with,... Read more »
If you are referring to an involuntary commitment, a judge will decide at the statutorily required hearing whether a person will be required to receive further treatment.
My ex and I divorced 6 years ago, our child was 2 at the time. She got physical custody and I got a standard visitation schedule with joint legal custody.
In February of this she began allowing our child to spend every other week with me which continued through the summer. When school... Read more »
As with most legal questions the answer is usually … depends. When it comes to custody/more visitation there usually needs to be a significant change in order to modify. However, based on the few details that you provided, she has shown an acceptance to allowing more visitation in which that... Read more »
