Property is unoccupied. Deed says lots 16, 17, 18. Trying to buy land from John Doe and he says he has to get Sue Smith to agree. I think Mr. Doe is in danger of losing his property if Ms. Smith wanted to take it from him since the deed is and/or. Please help.
There is no clear answer on "and/or" in a real estate title in Oklahoma. To pass good title, both John Doe and Sue Smith, and their spouses, if any, would have to sign a deed.
You have no legal rights as a step parent unless a Court Order states otherwise.

My wife and I have had a guardianship of a little boy for almost 6 years. We filed adoption almost 2 years ago, bio mom signed consent. Bio dad showed up to 1 of 3 mediations and 30% of visitations.
Divorce looks imminent for us, but we want to make sure our boy is safe with us.
Technically, if the adoption is not final before you divorce then it will become an issue, as the statute does not allow two single people to adopt the same child. It can be one person or one married couple. If you get divorced after the adoption is final then you will have custody questions just... Read more »

He is being told in jail that all 85% crimes are violent. We don't know if his lawyer told him correctly. We are in Oklahoma.
Yes, at least what is considered a violent crime under Oklahoma law. A few years ago, the State Legislature amended the violent crime list to ensure they included all of the 85% crimes as violent crimes. Now, the opposite is not true - there are violent crimes that are not 85% crimes.
