Legal Question in Family Law in Oklahoma
my son lives in Dallas Texas and his ex-wife filed for divorce in Oklahoma. He is paying 50% of his income based on the original amount entered. He does not make the same amount he did when he got divorced? In addition, she will not let him talk to or see his kids. What can we do to have amount amended and get visitation??

Your son will need to file a Motion to Modify Child Support to get his c/s reduced. He will need to be able to show that there has a been a permanent and substantial change in his income and/or ex-wife's income to be successful. He should file his motion asap, because any modification can not go into affect until after the motion is filed.
If his ex-wife is denying visitation and other contact in violation of a court order, he can have her cited for contempt of court. He can also file a Motion to Enforce Visitation, which provides for an expedited hearing and offers the court several options/remedies, including the ability to award attorney fees and court costs against the wrongful party.
