What To Do If You Are Being Treated Unfairly at Work?

Tracy A. Cinocca Posted on April 20, 2016 by Tracy CinoccaAugust 5, 2016

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT- What To Do If You Are Being Treated Unfairly at Work One of the biggest complaints I hear is when an employee is upset with their employment situation because they feel they are being singled out or are not being treated fairly in the workplace – typically by a supervisor or co-worker. This is especially intolerable to long-term employees, those retaliated against for whistle blowing, or engaging in some other right protected by public policy. It is also especially intolerable when it is overt, ongoing, and continuous. It is important to understand that Oklahoma is a state where you can be hired and fired at any time, for almost any reason, EXCEPT in circumstances such as: Age (if over 40) Race Color Sex Religion National Origin Disability Pregnancy Genetic Information Retaliation and/or Whistle blowing *May not apply to government workers, workers under contract, labor union agreements, or other groups because different laws, rules, or … Continue reading →

The Summons and Notice of Automatic Injunction

Tracy A. Cinocca Posted on July 6, 2015 by Tracy CinoccaAugust 5, 2016

So, either you have served your spouse or your spouse has been served. What happens on service? Unless waived by the parties, page two of the Summons you receive on service with your Petition contains many do’s and don’ts during the pendency of your divorce. Click here for the Summons and Notice of Automatic Injunction form. The language is a bit complicated and sometimes hard to apply to your facts. But here are a few examples: 1. Do not disturb the peace of the other party; 2. Do not open or divert the other’s party’s mail; 3. Do not cancel health or life insurance benefits. As a basic rule, if you spend money, be able to account for it and answer for the expenditure or you may be in trouble! Read the language in the automatic injunction carefully, and be prepared to discuss any questions with an attorney! We’re always here to help.

Judicial Order of Proper Conduct

Tracy A. Cinocca Posted on July 2, 2015 by Tracy CinoccaAugust 5, 2016

Judicial Order of Proper Conduct It is difficult for many to adjust to the new separate lives divorcing spouses begin. Whether custody is agreed between the parents, and especially if contested it is important to know the standards of behavior adopted by the Courts. In high risk divorces, or ones that are particularly litigious, Courts usually enter a Judicial Order of Proper Conduct. Click here to read it. It is not just important in highly contested cases, with parents who argue and cannot agree on issues between each other and their children, but they are also good standards for all parents to keep in mind when divorcing. Remember: children blame themselves often for divorces, but it is the conflict they see which is most damaging. Please review these basic standards of behaviour in divorce actions with children as described in the Judicial Order of Proper Conduct. It can help you understand … Continue reading →

How To Prepare For A Lawsuit

Tracy A. Cinocca Posted on October 17, 2011 by Tracy CinoccaAugust 5, 2016
Lady of Justice

In almost any contested domestic matter, you will need to prepare the following items: A List Of Potential Witnesses Include their contact information and anticipated testimony. If you have identified more than one witness who can testify about the same thing, then indicate which one you think would be best and why. Some cases are simple and only require the testimony of one or both parties—in many divorces this is the case. The Court appreciates if you are respectful of their time and do not unnecessarily duplicate witness testimony unless critical. Initially, however, do not be shy on identifying everyone who may have knowledge about issues in your case.

Cancer Patients Dealing with Divorce

Tracy A. Cinocca Posted on October 17, 2011 by Tracy CinoccaAugust 5, 2016

Cancer patients in family law courts face many issues about their personal care and that of their children. It is highly likely in most divorces and all custody battles that the parties’ medical conditions will be at issue. When the health of litigants is an issue, litigants should carefully consider insurance coverage available through private plans, COBRA, and/or federal programs, like Medicaid, SSI and SSDI. How these patients will be able to acquire insured and uninsured treatment for their care is a critical consideration. Knowledge of HIPPA regulations is important for acquiring medical records and bills that may be at issue in any divorce to prove or disprove any claims or defenses. A cancer patient’s need for spousal support may well be influenced or fully supported by their medical needs. Some Courts may make property distributions in lieu of alimony.

Oklahoma Basic Marital Property Law

Tracy A. Cinocca Posted on October 17, 2011 by Tracy CinoccaAugust 5, 2016

Oklahoma Basic Marital Property Law Oklahoma courts are required to make an equitable division of property acquired during a marriage. Tigert vs. Tigert, 1979 OK CIV APP 14, ¶6. “An equitable division, however, does not require an equal division.” Id. The Oklahoma trial courts are vested with wide discretion in dividing property, so much so that an abuse of discretion is required to reverse. Further, if the trial court decision can be justified under any theory, whether raised by any party or not, the appellate court will also affirm. Silverstein vs. Silverstein, 1987 OK CIV APP 87, ¶17. Foremost to any property division is the determination of separate versus marital property, then the Oklahoma courts consider a variety of legal precedents and the facts specific to each case for an equitable division.
