Q: If I have joint custody, do I still have to pay child support?
A: The child support guidelines come into play and depending on the amount of overnight visits and income for both parents, you could be required to pay child support.

Q: My mother died without a will. What will happen to the Oklahoma land that she owned when she died?
A: In a probate, the land will be distributed pursuant to the Oklahoma rule of intestacy. Typically someone’s surviving spouse and/or children will inherit the property. Grandchildren, parents, siblings and other relatives may also inherit and interest in the land. If your mother owed anyone money, those creditors may have interest in the property as well.
If you have questions about probate, call our office and ask to speak with Jonathan Benham (580)234-8447.
