The pet resort lost my dog and as a result my dog was hit by a car. This required an ER visit and surgery in order to save his life. The medical visits are not done yet but will probably be about 9000. The pet resorts insurance is only offering me 5500, leaving me to pay the rest of the medical... Read more »
You will likely need to speak to a local animal attorney to write what’s called a demand letter to ask the boarding facility to reimburse you for all the bills. You will need to gather all your bills and have them sent to the insurance company for them to reimburse you for everything. They are... Read more »

You would need to ask your parents for permission.
My sister and I were contacted by my bio dad's brother stating he died and we are next of kin. We have not seen him since we were 3 & 5yo (40 years ago). We were adopted 27 years ago by a man we have always considered our father. The last 8mo or so my bio dad has tried to make contact with... Read more »
In short, the answer is no. There are always extenuating factors that can be involved, but that would require you sitting down with a family law attorney and working through all the details. An adopted child can receive inheritance from the biological parents as well as the adoptive parents, so... Read more »
I live in Oklahoma and the age of consent is 16 can they really win a case?
This question requires much more information to be answered with any degree of accuracy. However, while the age of consent is 16 in the state of Oklahoma, the age of majority is 18, therefore a 16 or 17 year old is still considered a minor. Furthermore, if you are basing this question solely on a... Read more »
Especially when the place is falling apart
The short answer is that if the current tenant has no lease then there would be nothing to stop the church from raising the rent. This is a matter of contract law, so if the church wants to enter into a contract for lease at a higher monthly rent, they surely can do so. However, to be sure you... Read more »
Can you get your child back after there is a false accusation of abuse to your child by your fiance
Whoever is accused of abusing a child needs to hire an attorney right now and not make any statements to anyone without an attorney. Where many people go wrong is they wait too long to get help and end up with a mess an attorney may or may not be able to clean up. Get help now.
I am not aware of any form. Attorneys typically draft their own documents.
I would like to re evaluate the my court case only this time I have the right representation thank you
Where in Oklahoma is your case?
Has there already been a divorce decree filed? If so, when?
What is it you want to try to modify?
Any other details of your case you can think of would be helpful also.
The customer then gives a credit card and it has insufficent funds this has gone on for weeks, now the customer is giving excuses one after the other please contact me and see if you can help, the truck driver and out of state can I file federal charges against them.
No, you cannot file federal charges against him. The US Attorney decides what criminal charges to pursue in federal court and the District Attorney or Oklahoma Attorney General decides what criminal charges to pursue in state court. You can report the matter to the police. The police may... Read more »
An Oklahoma attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. As a general matter, that could be a difficult search query because it could be somewhat broad, coming up in cases ranging from physical injury to debt collection to criminal law. It could possibly yield irrelevant... Read more »
A 17 yo, almost 18, child we know works a full time job. His parents take nearly all, if not all, of his take home pay. This is also true for his sister. The business is not owned by the parents yet they also have the kids work just about every one of their days off in order to have the extra. I... Read more »
If a person is a child, under 18, then whatever they do is under the control of the parents.
At 80, I am in the process donating several hundred American and European prints and a like number of Japanese woodblock prints, ranging in value from $100 to $12,000 each. Most are classified as "promised gifts" and are with the intended recipient, a 501(c) (3) tax-exempt, fully... Read more »
There is an appraisal requirement for all gifts in excess of $5000. That applies to where you give similar items of property where the total value is above $5,000. Six $1,000 items donated would reqire an appraisal. If you haven't already, you will want to contact the fine art museum to make... Read more »
I'm the mom and dad most days I just wanna make sure I have at least joint custody and that her mom dont try to swoop in and take my daughter
If you were not married, Oklahoma law states the mother has custody of the child until the district court orders otherwise. It is critical that you get a petition filed in the district court to establish your rights. Hire an attorney asap to help you get this done.
Yes. The short answer is parents make the rules and children follow the rules.
Charges are assault by strangulation, domestic violence, interrupting a 911 call and avoiding the police, dhs is involved and I feel like I'm gonna lose my intimate partner and child and I cant do it, if that happens I wont be able to go on in life if I lose my child, I need a way for me to...

At this point it sounds like you need to do two things:
1. Your partner needs a criminal defense attorney right now to fight any criminal charges.
2. You need a family law attorney to help you with DHS, now.
Where many people go wrong is they wait too long to get help. Do... Read more »
My main question is this both kids are 12 years and older and have expressed verbally to me that they want to live with me. I am getting remarried and will be moving out of the state of Oklahoma next month.
The law states you must wait 6 months after the divorce is granted to remarry. Also, you would have to follow the provisions of the relocation statute that will be set forth in the decree in you want to move.
This sounds like a pro se divorce. I strongly suggest you consult in person... Read more »
My dad died 2001 and it has been in probate ever since. My mom is the executor and they were married at the time of death. She had 2 of his 5 kids.
Because she was the wife at the time. Should she automatically get half? Since that time, it has been only my mom, me, and youngest sister on... Read more »
I can't fully answer this without more information. However, if your father had a Will when he died and that Will was admitted to probate then the terms of the Will dictate how the property is distributed. If he died without a will then his wife will acquire 1/2 of the property acquired by... Read more »
She was 11 at the time reported, and the ADA told me I could view/copy the case file when the offended was sentenced. It’s over now and I emailed the ADA about wanting copies of the case (never heard back) including the forensic interview of my daughter. I feel like I as her mom have rights to... Read more »
As the parent of the victim, I would suggest you start by talking to the District Attorney, the supervisor of the ADA, or even the victim witness coordinator at the DA's office. Some of the types of documents you identify are difficult for the public to gain access to - especially if the case... Read more »
As with most all things, this would depend on the specific facts of what happened. This is one of those issues where to get a reliable answer you will need to have a detailed consultation with an attorney. The attorney will want to review all of the facts and also ask questions to get to the... Read more »
I would like to refinance my house to lower rates. I completed chapter 13 bankruptcy earlier this year. The application asks if I've had a bankruptcy in the past 3 years. Is that 3 years from when I filed bankruptcy or 3 years from when I finished it?
