Sorry about your problems. Emancipation is a complicated legal issue. You should consult an experienced Family Law Attorney, in your area, for help with this problem. Good luck.
The protective order is the reason the judge says I can't get them they haven't got any reason besides that.
answered on Oct 2, 2017
Your questions are not totally clear, but I think you're saying the mother of your children has a Protective Order against you, is now unstable, threatening suicide, DHS has your kids, and the Judge and DHS won't let you have them because of the PO. This being the situation, Oklahoma... View More

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. I hope by now you have located your kids. Your best bet would be to contact the DHS Office where the kids are, and talk to their caseworker about this.

My mother has sole custody and will not consent to this, but can my dad consent?
answered on Aug 8, 2017
You are a bit young for a lifetime commitment to another person. What about more education? Can your bf fully support both you and a child that is sure to come soon? How old is he? What kind of employment can he expect with his education? Federal law requires that you both have health insurance, do... View More

Sorry you didn't get an answer before your court date. Hope all worked out for you. The courts and DHS prefer family placement when possible. I would think by now you have been checked out by Texas DHS and approved for placement. Good luck

He is not required to ask for support to have DNA test results, but most judges will order support.
Birth mom has been wholly supported by a local sober living facility and done nothing on her own. The plan is to have the workers from this facility babysit the one year old while she works during the trial reunification process.
answered on May 2, 2017
This should be OK unless your court orders for Reunification provide otherwise, and assuming the workers are good and capable people.
Foster children are being homeschooled and church at home. Live very secluded lives.
answered on Mar 24, 2017
To home school children, there must be some form of approval and review. If this is being done without any proper paperwork in place or at least in the process, the children and foster parents could be subjected to truancy laws.

The child is not spanked in their primary residence, especially not with an object. What's the best way to document this, and how should we proceed?
answered on Aug 28, 2016
It is not against any statutory provision in Oklahoma for a live in girlfriend to spank a child absent consent. If the spankings are physically harmful to the child and there are marks showing these spankings, you should take pictures and have a professional examine the marks and get them on... View More

Downsides may be depending on state, how birth records are kept, if they need a copy of the birth certificate etc, may be a problem for them.
