His wife. She owned her house already going into the marriage. It's only been a week but she's already talking about selling his guns and working to access his bank accounts.

I would hire an attorney to file probate on your behalf to insure she doesn't liquidate personal property. The key will be who he placed as his beneficiaries on the bank accounts. If the accounts were held separate and were not co-mingled, you may have a valid claim.
If we can help,... Read more »
I am sorry, but I am not certain what type of template you are requesting? Over and over again, I see people who attempt to file petitions themselves and not only do they spend an enormous amount of time doing it, but the stress ends up being far more than anyone should have to deal with. Also,... Read more »

If you have custody, you can always file a writ of habeas or writ of assistance. There is a specific way to do that for out of State writs. With that said, there may be a challenge since it has been 4 years.

DHS is a funny agency in that it sometimes all depends not the case worker you have. There is a big difference between having your child removed based on a deprived action and having your parental rights terminated. If she is working a plan after a deprived adjudication or waiver, then it makes... Read more »
Yes, but only if it can be proven.
DHS is involved because I receive aid from the state to offset daycare costs
There are some actions you can consolidate if the parties to the action are the same, the claims arise substantially out of the same events/circumstances, and the statutes allow for it. You should get a lawyer to aid you in this process. Contact a licensed family law attorney in Oklahoma for help.
His dad lied in court about things that were not going on with there mom. Both kids want to go home. Can the boy leave, he is 16
As the child's legal custodian, the father is charged with his/their well-being. As such, he can decide (mostly) where the child stays and when the child stays there. Unless someone can show to the Court that the child is in danger, or where the child is staying is not in the child's best... Read more »

The temporary custody was only granted until I provided a negative drug testoh, I have three of them I just don't know how to get them to the judge
An emergency custody order should be set for hearing within ten days under OK law. I recommend hiring an attorney well-versed in family law in Oklahoma and appear at the hearing to provide evidence in support of your position.
he hasn't been around or seen my daughter in 3 years.
A parent cannot terminate their parental rights simply to circumvent child support obligations.
My friends son moved to another town and was staying with his aunt. His mom found out he dropped out of school and he was taking pills, smoking marijuana, and drinking. His aunt wasn't very responsible after all
I recommend your friend consult an attorney well-versed in Oklahoma family law immediately. It is possible she has a duty to report this situation to DHS and could face liability if she fails to do so.

The short answer is yes, you have to pay child support.

At this point in time, your best play is to get a divorce on file ASAP. If you do that, you can ask the Judge to make specific Orders regarding your property and insure he doesn't hide, destroy, or otherwise get rid of your property. I'd recommend you contact a family law attorney licensed in... Read more »
Now my court appointed lawyer withdrew. And told me I need to file a " entry of appearance". How do I do this, and where do I fie it. And what is it for.? I'm so lost and need help before I loose my parental rights to my son. It was a default judgement I was late for court.
It is not possible to teach you everything that you need to know to handle the case over the internet. You really need to hire an attorney right now and see if they can help you set aside the default. Act quickly!!!
I didn't understand what I was doing at the time it was happening
It's not impossible, but certainly very difficult. You should contact an adoption attorney as soon as possible to see what your options are. The longer you wait, the less likely you will have any success.

If you and the mother were married at the probable time of conception, then, you are the "presumed father" of the child.
Oklahoma Statutes, title 10, Section 7700-607(B) says:
"B. A proceeding seeking to disprove the father-child relationship between a child and the child's presumed... Read more »
