School is out mid-May. Graduation is late June. How should the final payment be handled?
You will need to review your support order. Most of the time the order will state the due date as the 1st day of the month. If child graduates in June then the June 1 payment would be made as usual.
Charges are possession of controlled substance with intent to distribute. Client is worried additional charges may be applied as well.
Provided you have the resources to retain two different lawyers, but, of course, you can hire as many attorneys as you like. You would likely prefer that they work on separate cases (as there could be some difficulty sharing responsibility if Two different attorneys brought their different... Read more »
My mom, who lives in Oklahoma, is turning 62 this year and would like to retire a little while after her birthday. However, she is concerned because she heard somewhere that a person is required to have been employed for the entire five years immediately preceding their desired retirement date. Is... Read more »
That is not true. What might be confusing her is the general rule that an individual seeking Social Security Disability benefits needs to have worked 5 of the 10 years before their disability onset date. There is no such rule for SS Retirement benefits. You just have to have worked the equivalent... Read more »

All I have so far is the liquor license from the Oklahoma ABLE Commission. Where should I go from here?
I'd recommend hiring a business formation attorney, but if you are wanting to do it yourself, here's a pretty good overview of the steps involved, along with links to helpful resources:

Normally, law enforcement can take possession of a dog if hasn't been inoculated, spayed, or neutered, or if it is "at large", has bitten someone, or is deemed dangerous, and yes, at least under Tulsa Municipal Ordinances (Title 2, Section 109), there are reclaiming and impoundment fees, and a...

Car is financed
The reason the car was impounded could impact the steps you take next. The police could have a hold on it for a variety of reasons (suspicion of it being stolen, need to process it as evidence, considering filing a forfeiture action against it, etc.). If the vehicle was impounded and you were... Read more »
My husband did a private DNA test in 2016 and he was not the father. The child was taken into DHS custody in 2018 and my husband was given a 2nd DNA test and it showed once again he wasn’t the father. He voluntarily terminated his rights but because of the acknowledgement of paternity paper he... Read more »
He needs to file a petition to remove himself from the acknowledgement of paternity. We ahem done several of these lately. In some way this is straightforward, but there are some serious pitfalls if you are not careful.
Can I have a case against the police department
The question you present is not one that can simply be answered on a forum such as this. If you were arrested and no charges were filed, you could contact a civil rights attorney to review your case. If you were charged, you should hire (if you have not done so already) a criminal defense... Read more »
She had the money direct deposited into her account and is refusing to give me my half. She does have a PO against me but I am suppose to have supervised visits and talk to my twice a day and am not getting that.
The first question is whether you and your wife are legally separated or just don't live together? If it is a legal separation, then you have some legs to stand on, but if it is not filed then you may have some trouble. Because you used the terms supervised visitation, that gives me the sense...

My brother's son was taken over state lines to Missouri or DHS has taking my brother's son but the mother over state lines without my brother's knowing our permission DHS didn't contact him or anything. How dose he go about getting his son back?
Depends on factors such as if the parents are married or if there is an existing custody order. First step would be for him to have a private consultation with an attorney. Once an attorney has a complete picture of what is going on they will then be able to tell him what he needs to do.
Of course. However, the fact that you are posing this question leads me to deduce that you have been offered some type of incarceration, be it jail time or prison.
And, as I suspect, if you have had legal counsel representing your interests along the way to arrive at your final plea offer... Read more »
Im on a suspended sentence in Oklahoma. 2 years supervision through department of corrections. So I pay 40$ a month to them but then the courts are also making me pay a da supervision fee under 991 fees. Doesn't sound legal to have to pay two enteties for the same thing according to what I just... Read more »
I am sorry to say that it is legal. Literally under the 991 statute. It is a way for the DA's office to recover costs related to your prosecution. I agree, it is overly burdensome, and we have actually argued during Rule 8 hearings that the fines and costs are excessive. Supreme Court Justice... Read more »
Yes, there are statutes of limitations in place for state and federal laws that govern when you must file a lawsuit. The deadline will depend on the laws under which you are asserting that you've been wrongfully terminated. You should seek counsel from an employment attorney in your area as soon... Read more »
Need to get ex boyfriend off quick claim deed. He lives in another state now and has nothing here. No mortgage, house is free and clear. Never filed with the county clerk here in Oklahoma. How can I get the property in just my name
You potentially have two easy solutions: get a quit-claim deed from the original grantor to you only and record it (best); or get the boyfriend to quit-claim his tenant in common interest to you only, then record both deeds in their chronological order. Otherwise you are left with adverse... Read more »

Contact the entity that would have taken the mug shot and find out if they still have it. If the entity still has it, ask that entity how you go about requesting a copy.

My company provided vehicle was never returned/picked up by said company. I was also never paid a promised bonus of $4500. I have not been utilizing said vehicle in any way.
