If your home was purchased during the marriage, then neither spouse has superior rights to possession of the house. Seeking temporary possession of a residence is a fact-sensitive inquiry. Does it make more sense for one spouse to have possession of the property? In cases where there is no agreement, a temporary order hearing is necessary. A temporary order hearing is a mini-trial where witnesses are sworn and testify. The lawyers at Bundy Law are trial lawyers who work in courthouses across the U.S. Interior Highlands in Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Missouri, every day. 

There is not a calculator or spreadsheet for determining alimony in Oklahoma. The law simply says this in 43 O.S. § 121: “Either spouse may be allowed such alimony out of real and personal property of the other as the court shall think reasonable, having due regard to the value of such property at the time of the dissolution of marriage. Alimony may be allowed from real or personal property, or both, or in the form of money judgment, payable either in gross or in installments, as the court may deem just and equitable.” That is all that it says.

If you are looking online at a website that claims to have a formula for calculating alimony or spousal support in Oklahoma, you are being misled. Alimony factors only come from decades of appellate cases.

Transparency and patience are important concepts when dealing with an unreasonable opposing party in a lawsuit. By being upfront about your position, evidence, and willingness to negotiate, you can signal that you're not playing games or hiding information.

A contempt charge is a very serious matter and should not be taken lightly by either side, as the accuser has a high burden of proof and the accused faces potential jail time.

A large part of considering whether or not to assert the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination is about risk-assessment. If a protective order has been filed against you or if a divorce or family law case has been filed accusing you of domestic violence or child abuse or neglect, then you have been accused of criminal activity.

At its core, hearsay is when a witness in court tries to quote someone who is not a witness in the case about something that the witness claims that person said.

When you are considering settlement in a family law case, you need to think about different kinds of costs: the cost of trial and the future cost and consequences of a settlement that is less than ideal.

Day-to-day conversations are called "out-of-court statements," and many of those statements fit the definition of hearsay.

All legal disputes are ultimately about facts. For any fact that is important to a case, there is more value establishing that fact through the opposing party than proving that same exact fact through you, the client.
