Few things are more stressful for a parent than a juvenile being accused of a crime.

Oklahoma courts expect parents to comply with custody orders unless the order is formally modified by the court. Custody Orders […]
Emergency custody proceedings in Oklahoma are designed to protect children from immediate danger or serious harm.
