Legal Answers
16 Questions Answered
- Q. Can you help me find an attorney who handles family law/DV/child custody cases on a pro bono or sliding scale basis
- A: You could contact Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma in your area.
- Q. Can I sue for emotional distress due to receiving a threat through messenger in Oklahoma?
- A: You could sue the person who made the threat. You may or may not recover damages.
- Q. Does primary custody automatically go to the parent in the court's county?
- A: Primary custody is not automatically granted to the person who resides in the county where the court order has been issued. But joint custody typically requires that the parents can reach agreement on custodial issues. If you can't reach agreement, the joint custody is not working.
Your remedy is to file a motion with the court to ask that the court decide which person is authorized to make decisions regarding education of the child. Talk to an attorney about your chances of modifying the joint custody order to give you primary custody.
