Q: Example motion to restrict frivolous filings by a vexatious litigant in Oklahoma family law case.
In Oklahoma, I need an example of a motion that could restrict a party from filing frivolous motions in a family law case. This party has already been declared a vexatious litigant in Utah, continues to file motions without setting hearing dates, and fails to comply with court orders to appear in person. How should I draft a prefiling order, or what template can I use to effectively address and limit this litigation abuse?
A:
There are no official forms in Oklahoma for family law matters as you have described. Attorneys draft all of their own documents based on the applicable statutes and case law. I would suggest that you consult with an attorney in your local area to review your case in detail. Once the attorney reviews your file and is able to ask you questions to get a handle on what you are dealing with that attorney should be able to explain your options and your best path forward. Many will offer a free initial consultation so it shouldn't cost you anything to learn your options.
I wish you the best of luck with your case and hope that you are able to find an attorney to help you.
