Family Law

• Divorce
  If you and your spouse have little to no property to divide and don’t have children together, you are excellent candidates for an uncontested divorce. You may also be a candidate for an uncontested divorce if you and your spouse do have property to divide or children together, but you agree on each aspect of the divorce, such as...
• Child Support
  When parents live together, providing financial support for their children is fairly automatic. It is simply what parents do for their children. For parents who live apart, child support can be controversial, and it is not surprising. According to figures provided by the Oklahoma Department of Human Services, approximately $370 million is paid in child support each year in Oklahoma.
• Child Custody and Visitation
  Child custody is a common issue faced in Oklahoma divorce and separation cases, however, it can also be one of the most sensitive. Each parent wants what is best for the child, but each may have different ideas about what constitutes “best.†Determining how a child custody case should proceed is challenging, time-consuming, and costly. By working with an experienced custody lawyer from the start of your case, you can protect your rights and the best interests of your child while working towards a positive resolution to the case that benefits the whole family.

• Guardianship
  A guardianship is a legal relationship between a child and a guardian. When a guardianship has been established, the designated guardian takes over many of the responsibilities regarding the child’s day-to-day life, finances, medical care, and more. There are several different situations in which guardianship may be established. As a parent, you may appoint a legal guardian for your own child in the event that you become unable to raise him or her. If the parents of a child become unfit or have their parental rights terminated, it may be determined by a judge that it is in the best interests of the child to place him or her in the care of a legal guardian.
• Spousal Support
  While it may surprise some, Oklahoma has the second-highest divorce rate in the country. For every 1,000 married women aged 15 and older, 10 will get divorced. Divorce can impact many different facets of your life, especially as you begin to divide up the assets and debts between both spouses. One spouse may need financial support to build a new life and the other spouse may be capable of providing it. Given the numerous considerations that must be factored into any divorce settlement, coming to an agreement on something like alimony can often be complicated and contentious.

• DUI/DWI
  Most people assume a DUI arrest involves police stopping a driver whose vehicle is swerving or moving erratically, administering a breathalyzer test, and taking the driver to jail.

• Misdemeanors
  Misdemeanor crimes are generally considered some of the least severe crimes that a person can be charged with, however, that doesn’t mean that you should take the charges any less seriously.

• Drug Crimes
  According to statistics from the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, an estimated 16,367 arrests were made for drug-related offenses statewide in 2019. In the state of Oklahoma, drug-related crimes often include drug possession, manufacturing, trafficking, distribution, and possession with intent to distribute.
