I’m trying to understand how Oklahoma law treats my Joint Custody Plan (JCP) and Mediated Settlement Agreement (MSA) for the purposes of pursuing civil damages. In my case, the JCP and MSA were incorporated into the final custody order, but there is no express language stating that they were “merged” into the judgment. Also, we agreed to things that the Court couldn’t order like child support arrears and other things like scheduling etc. Does the absence of merger language mean the JCP and MSA remain enforceable as independent contracts, such that I can bring a separate civil action for breach (i.e., for damages), rather than being limited to enforcement through family court? I’m aware of the merger vs. incorporation distinction discussed in cases like Holleyman v. Holleyman, 2003 OK 48, and I want to make sure I’m not overreaching in asserting that these agreements survive the judgment for civil enforcement purposes.

There's a possibility I may end up going to prison for a crime I committed a couple of years ago. I'm doing wonderful now and expecting my first child, but I want to make sure that if I am incarcerated, my mom can pick up the baby from the hospital.

My mother passed away in Dec. 2023. She had repeatedly stated that neither of my brothers were to receive anything after her death. I tried to speak with both of them about a policy from my grandmother (who passed a month before my mother), where I was listed as a 50% beneficiary. When I brought it up, they both said they had nothing to discuss and didn’t want to hear it. Do I still need to list them as beneficiaries?
