Family Law

• Divorce
  There are two general paths that a divorce can take. If both parties agree on all matters related to the divorce, the process is known as an uncontested divorce. An uncontested divorce is typically quicker and less expensive than the alternative. If, however, the parties cannot agree on all elements of the divorce, they will need to follow the path of a contested divorce.
• Child Support
  I hired Courtney to represent me in an initial Paternity filing with relocation (out of state) and custody/visitation/child support. Courtney was amazing starting with the consultation and it continued throughout the entire process. She kept me informed of what was happening, answered my questions, and kept the case on course even when the other counsel was extremely hard and difficult to work with. All-in-all, I walked away with a better agreement than what I had intended to offer the other person and I couldn’t be happier. I’d HIGHLY recommend Courtney to anyone needing this type of representation although I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
• Child Custody and Visitation
  At this time, it is possible that some temporary orders may be issued. These temporary orders may direct how certain issues will be handled while the divorce proceedings are ongoing. The orders may involve temporary child custody, spousal support, possession of the marital home, and other issues.
• Paternity
• Spousal Support
  If an agreement cannot be reached, a judge will hear the case and make a final decision on any outstanding issues. The final divorce decree will be signed by the judge and should cover all issues, including child custody, visitation, child support, spousal support, property division, and others. As soon as the divorce decree is signed by the judge, the marriage is ended. However, Oklahoma law prohibits either party from remarrying (except to each other) for at least six months after the decree is entered ( 2023 Oklahoma Statutes §43-123 ).
• Legal Separation
• Annulment

  A drunk driving charge can happen to anybody. It is easy to lose track of how many drinks you have had and get behind the wheel. However, the consequences of this offense in Oklahoma can be huge.

  White-collar crime. This encompasses financial crimes such as embezzling and money laundering. Financial crimes can have strict penalties, including heavy fines.
• Misdemeanors
  First, it is worth noting that the process outlined below is the process for felony cases. Misdemeanor cases are usually not quite as formal, and some of the steps in this process may be combined or omitted altogether in misdemeanor cases.
• Drug Crimes
  In Oklahoma, as in many states, drug offenses can carry serious penalties. Depending on the type of drug and the severity of the charge, you could be facing thousands of dollars in fines and years in prison. Additionally, the permanent record you will hold after fulfilling your punishment could make it hard for you to find a home or a job.
• Assault
  Assault and battery. Often, these charges are mistaken for the same thing. That is not the case. Assault refers to the threat of violence, and battery means the actual carrying out of that violence.
• Murder
• Homicide
  Violent crime. Assault and battery, domestic violence, homicide and other violent crimes can lead to long prison sentences.
