I owe back payment but I thought if you made the monthly payment they couldn't take your taxes. They didn't take it last year

In short, yes it is within the ability of CSS to take taxes to pay for arrears.

The first step is to file a claim form with Unclaimed Property. After a caseworker is assigned to your case, they'll instruct you on the documentation needed to release the funds. I would recommend reaching out to an attorney for further help if the caseworker tells you that you need to show... View More

Sorry for your loss. This time is always challenging. Is there a question you are wanting to ask?
from paternal cousin who is going thru an alleged agreed mediated divorce with my maternal second cousin [aka “daughter”] - anything you can do about his narcissistic behavior besides ignore it? Yep. Wrap your head around that one. Lol

you would want to consult an Oklahoma attorney, but my read would be 1) this is one divorcing person with another--let their attorneys handle it; if they have decided not to use attorneys, be aware that the person texted is getting free information, ammunition possibly. Why stop the flow. (In... View More
..house assaulted me and sends me vulgar messages about what her in my husband do Waffle House has a no fraternizing policy I have contacted Waffle House and informed them of this and I've done nothing is there anything I can do?
answered on Jan 11, 2022
You cannot force Waffle House to do anything. You, however can file a police report for the assault and harassment against her. Additionally you can file for separation/divorce against your husband if you are not able to reconcile. Good luck to you.
Her mother told her to pack her bags and get out and she never wants to see her again. I live in Oklahoma. Am I able to go get this child without legal repercussions?
answered on Jan 4, 2022
Yes and no - or better yet - it depends. Since the child is a resident of Florida you will need to talk to a licensed attorney in Florida to establish a guardianship and then you would be able to bring the child here. But without that in place I would be cautious.
My aunt was adopted by my biological grandfather before I was even born. We never believed less than blood relation. In her passing, she has family disputing my relationship; "step" is what they're saying. She may have had a will, but that family has taken several documents from her... View More

You need to contact an estate/probate attorney as soon as feasible. It may have already been placed into probate or it may not have been. It just depends how aggressive they are and if they have an aggressive attorney. You need someone that can put some time in this since you are out of state. It... View More
My ex husband is neglectful and abusive to our daughter and he's alienated me from my daughter for years. I had no money to get an attorney to enforce the order. Now I an trying to either enter pro se or possibly get an OAR attorney which is done on the sliding scale. I have reported to dHs... View More

While I can respect your position you need to contact an attorney to assist you with this because this is not something you want to try to do alone. If money is an issue then you may want to contact free legal aid and see if they can help first, but they have a busy workload. Short of that just... View More
I am the only one of my mom's children who wasn't legally adopted. I'm wondering if I should go through the process of paying a sheriff/process server to deliver the notice of guardianship petition.
answered on Dec 9, 2021
Since an adopted child still receives a childs portion of the estate of biological parents, I would send them notice in this matter as well. However, you can send it via certified mail and this is cost less than the sheriff/process server.
I was pretty much bullied into opening the car door for my abusive boyfriend (now ex boyfriend) so he could load 2 weed eaters he had just stolen from a storage unit, into the back seat of his car. I opened the back door like I was told to, and Got directly back into the vehicle. I am being charged... View More

If you know about a crime, you go with them to the crime scene, you stay with them and you leave with them knowing what has occurred, you will almost always be charged as a codefendant. If you could show some coercion was applied to you, threats of some sort if you did not comply, and that you did... View More

You can sue, but you may not have to. You might try contacting his attorney and see if his attorney can talk some sense into him. If that doesn't work, you'll need to contact an attorney. If you don't think anybody can talk any sense into him, you may want to get an attorney and... View More
He is the next living relative and had to send information and initials to funeral home because funeral home wouldn't let partner do it even with will stating so.
answered on Nov 15, 2021
In Oklahoma he would not be required to provide a copy of the will but since she died (I am assuming she lived there) in New Mexico you should post in the New Mexico group.
In Oklahoma, if your husband was an heir pursuant to the will he would be given written notice when the will was... View More
With notice. Can I file my own petition as the petitioner since I haven’t been served or signed a wavier?
answered on Nov 13, 2021
Just because you haven’t been served does not invalidate the petition. However, since you have not been served properly your time does not start for your response. You should contact an attorney to help you file a response with counter-petition and thus indirectly you are filing your own... View More

You need to contact an estate/trust attorney on this. If in fact the trust specified that you receive your fathers portions then that would be the case. However, there are always complications. If something was not put into the trust then that would not necessarily be transferred to you, or if... View More
I should have rights to check on my son, he thinks IM out to hurt him cause he stole a truck from me which is NOT the case I love him very ,much and I just want to check on him, Im his father what are my rights, He is 18 tho but still

If a protective order has been filed, hire an attorney to defend you. You do not want a PO to be entered because it can follow you and impact your life in many ways.
Best of luck.
answered on Nov 3, 2021
Discovery is not filed or submitted to the court.
I can tell by your question that you are in over your head in the deep water. You need an attorney. If the other parent has an attorney and you don't, it usually does not end well.
Best of luck!

answered on Nov 1, 2021
No. The person giving you the POA (your daughter) has to be the one giving you the POA and she cannot do that in a coma. You have options if the boyfriends POA does not continue through incapacitation but you would need to have an attorney review it. If that is the case then you may be able to get... View More

answered on Oct 29, 2021
You would need to talk to a probate attorney and have them review the court documents that you have. You state that "he went to court and won". If the judge already decided that all of the property should go to your brother it may be too late. However, that makes no sense. If a probate... View More
Can you give me the statue of this law to the question in Oklahoma.

Unemployment is payable to an eligible employee, not to heirs or their estate. Therefore when the employee dies they are no longer an eligible employee and the payments must stop.
For 9 years I have had custody of my son. I have made all major decisions regarding education and how he is raised. He has lived with me and been financially supported by me since his father has never paid child support nor have we gone to court to establish custody. We were never married or in any... View More
answered on Oct 20, 2021
If you have never been to court, there would not be any court documents stating that you have custody. However, since you were not married, you would be considered the custodial parent by statute. I published a Blog Article that explains custody of children born to parents who are not married.... View More
