    Seventeen year old debt

    I would think the SOL has long expired on this, if there is no judgement against you with it. I don't know what state's SOL's would apply, but the SOL's in Oklahoma are Written Contracts, 5 yrs; Oral Contracts, 3 years; and Promissory Notes, 5 years. SOL starts from the date of the first...

    Been out of country

    Do you have any judgements against you for any of this debt? If not, then the SOL is up for them to collect it. I don't know if Arizona considers credit card debt written or oral contracts, but the SOL is 6 years and 3 years respectively. After 7 years it will come off your credit report. So if...

    Can he get custody?

    Yes I am worried with our living situation. Hopefully the judge won't do anything radical since the kids aren't in a dangerous situation and they are in school. Probably depends a lot on the judge, and if my ex has an attorney. I think he did the application himself. I am going to see if legal...

    Can he get custody?

    Thanks for your imput Breana. I haven't really talked to the kids about it. When their dad didn't see them for weeks on end, my son age 10 would cry, and get mad at me (since I was there and his father wasn't), but now he doesn't get his hopes up. He's kinda hardened his heart, or just gotten...
