No one gets married thinking they will face a divorce. If you and your spouse need time apart without ending your marriage, legal separation may be the right step. If you can’t resolve the issues, divorce may be the solution.
In both divorce and separation cases, we help couples work through all the relevant legal issues. We can:
Next to legal separation and divorce, child custody is one of the most emotionally charged aspects of any family law matter. Our founder, attorney Kevin S. Taylor, knows the importance of protecting children from the animosity and confusion that often arise in child custody cases. Oklahoma courts consider the child’s best interests, but they also respect the rights of both parents.
When it comes to the custody of your children, we’ll get to work to secure an arrangement that is in your child’s best interests. Legal custody gives the parent the right to make decisions on behalf of the child, such medical, religious, or education-based choices. Physical custody refers to where the child lives.
We can petition for sole or joint custody. If the child’s safety is a concern, we can seek sole legal and physical custody. We have experience with creating parenting plans that best serve the parents and provide opportunities to continue to bond with their child. We can also work around the child’s school and extracurricular schedules.
Divorce decrees and child custody arrangements sometimes need to be modified. Parents lose jobs, become injured or seriously ill, or the child needs additional medical or educational resources or time. The Taylor Law Firm, PLLC, offers post-decree modification assistance to:
Deployments and relocations are tough on military families. Our family law firm serving Yukon handles military divorce and child custody disputes. Military families face unique challenges, but our experienced lawyers can handle these special cases. We know how to manage custody and visitation planning for active-duty parents, especially those stationed at nearby Tinker Air Force Base.
As a service member, you have protections under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA). Those protections include protection from default judgments being entered against you while you are on active duty. That means the court can’t grant a divorce, separation, or modification to any such order until after it appoints an attorney to represent you.
We are skilled at applying the Uniformed Services Former Spouses Protection Act so that if your spouse was in the military and you are entitled to a share of their military pension in your divorce, we can make sure that is included in your divorce agreement. We’ll explain how the “10-year test” applies to you. We know how to protect the rights of the non-military spouse.
If you’ve been living together like a married couple in Yukon, the law may treat you as if you’re married, even if you don’t have a marriage license. When one or both individuals decide to end the marriage, they must file for divorce in the Oklahoma District Court. Our legal team handles common law marriage disputes and property division and can help you determine whether a common law marriage exists. We’ll create an agreement that protects your best interests.
Oklahoma follows equitable distribution law. That means the court aims to divide property fairly, but not necessarily equally. For couples in long-term marriages or those with significant assets, property settlement can become contentious. We can negotiate with your spouse’s attorney to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement in which we have:
Establishing paternity is a crucial element in determining parental rights. Without a clear relationship, fathers are not legally recognized by the state to fulfill their rights or responsibilities, including child custody or visitation and support.
