You need an attorney. In OKC, they have attorneys on contract that represent parents when DHS is trying to take your kids from you. Contact the juvenile court in Tulsa and see if someone can get an attorney assigned to you if you cannot afford private counsel. Good Luck!

"How can I get rid of a supervised visitation order?"
You would need to modify the order that requires supervised visitation. If you believe there is no longer a need for supervised visits hire an attorney to assist.
The mother is also my mother, and when I ask for them to for example not put their mouth in babies mouth for health concerns, they steam roll over me saying they’re the parents and they can do what they want, but they aren’t even deemed safe by the dhs. Court order says they are allowed... View More

As my colleague stated you can always request a neutral third party to be the supervisor. However, while they are technically correct that they are the parent, there is a reason the guardianship was put in place and it is your job to protect the best interest of the child. You may also try to get... View More

It sounds like the pursuit of the non custodial parent was cancelled. Contact DHS to find out the status if you are the custodial parent. They will explain it to you.

With the mothers Attorney against me? Is that not a conflict of interest?
answered on Jun 12, 2021
Same answer. The attorney and the former judge will probably know and have worked with many of the other local attorneys. Not necessarily a conflict.
You should have your own attorney and then you won't have to worry about who is representing the other party.
Also, can the Assistant District Attorney be a friend with the mothers Attorney, and has also worked with the mothers Attorney?
answered on Jun 11, 2021
An attorney who has been around for a while usually knows the other local attorneys who practice in the same area of the law.

If the case was continued then you have time to hire an attorney to help you with the case. Meet with an attorney so they can review your case and once the attorney has a handle on what has happened they will be able to explain your options.
My brother is the mediator. We were court ordered to go through third party visitation. Can he quit? His name isnt on any paperwork and we never signed any agreements.
answered on May 6, 2021
Did the court approve your brother to serve as mediator? Mediators usually have formal training so not sure how that is possible unless what you mean is he is a visitation supervisor.
Either way, sounds like you are in desperate need of an attorney.
