answered on Nov 30, 2017
Yes, just like a lot of other fees charged in school.

Suit by Met Life to reclaim life insurance paid to me in error. I was not at fault in any way but cannot repay. It was in 2014. Can I get advice?
answered on Nov 30, 2017
Sorry I didn't see this sooner. YES, you should hire an attorney, if you haven't already. Representing yourself in Federal Court is much more difficult than in state courts, as I am sure you have learned by now.

Yes for many jobs, but no for some others. Can't really answer unless we know what the job is. Ask again, with more details.

The reason you have not received an answer before is that you don't give enough facts to determine the correct answer. If you still want help, ask again, and give more details, like what kind of hearing, who is holding it, and why, what't the subject matter, etc.
answered on Nov 30, 2017
Sorry, the reason you haven't received an answer is because your question does not give enough facts to really give an answer. Who is seeking to change the name, what type of case, what are the relationships between all parties, etc.

I’m 17 and I turn 18 in 2 months and there’s a lot of family problems and I want to move to puerto Rico with a family friend without my moms permission, if my mom files me as a runway what would happen to me.
answered on Nov 30, 2017
You possibly could be picked up as a "Runaway Juvenile" in your new home, before you turn 18, BUT, a good lawyer there could probably prevent them returning you to your home. AND, considering everything, and you being almost 18, I seriously doubt if this would happen. Also, to return you,... View More
If the passenger compartment of the vehicle is full. Or if you just want To hang with the guys and have a good time.
answered on Nov 30, 2017
I believe the requirement is stated that passengers shall wear seat belts. If your pick up has seat belts, perhaps you may ride in the back.
The good time ends if there's a roll or tip and the guys end up with ejection type injuries.

By all means, get your license before the court date. If you need a little additional time, call the Court Clerk and ask to continue the case to another date, and explain why you want this.

My question is will I go to jail for this? Almost everyone said to get license BEFORE court date, and pay fine before hand, I even called the court house and asked if I were to face jail time and it was a No, please help has this ever happened? Would I need a lawyer?
answered on Nov 14, 2017
No, you don't need a lawyer, and won't go to jail. Get your license if you can before then. Go, and explain to the judge what happened. There's a good chance the judge may even dismiss the case. Good luck.
I was practicing for my drivers test got pulled over with a license driver in car with me and had insurance on the car.

I don't understand what you got the ticket for. A "Warning" ticket doesn't require a fine, or court date. Take a good close look at the ticket, and ask your question again.
Sorry I can't help more.
An inmate in 1 county in oklahoma was released on a pr bond 4 weeks ago but he's still in jail and still on hold for another county in oklahoma. It's been 3 or 4 weeks now and still sitting
answered on Oct 30, 2017
Generally 30 days is long enough. He should ask to see the Judge in his case, and request to be released. His best bet is to hire a lawyer for his case to help him with both issues.

the wreck was an accident and no laws were broken.. there is so many more instances and would like to know how much power the have..
answered on Oct 27, 2017
The court has the power to make orders that the court determines to be in the best interest of the children. Best bet is get an attorney if you don't already have one.
This is a special warranty deed, on a 40 acre piece of vacant land.
answered on Oct 22, 2017
Technically no if it was inherited or property owned before the marriage. However, a title company or good attorney would want the spouse to join in the deed to remove any possibility of a homestead, joint industry, or other claim in the future.
They had no warrant and looking for a minor child my son knows. Our they allowed to do this? They are also city cops and I live in the county

No, they should not have entered your home, nor threatened your child. They however did have the right to ask your son about the other boy.

No Oklahoma court has "Jurisdiction" unless some type of case is filed regarding it.

I agree with answer by Ms. Harroz, however I understand many District Attorney offices will reduce old charges in the discretion of the prosecutor.
I was considering a more lucrative line of work but I wanted to 'look before I leap', so to speak, so I don't end up committing a crime or something.

The questions must be relevant and related to what the court must make as a finding. Some questions are designed to ensure that there is no fraud, and also to make a record in the event there is a denial.

Best source would be the ACLU prison project. Question I'd have is have you seen this or just heard this. NOrmally it would be a violation of federal Bureau of Prisons policy but that may have changed. Again check with ACLU prison project or similar project for the Oklahoma Civil Liberites Union.
