Charles Watts
Charles L. Watts, PLLC
Charles grew up in a family construction business and has been dealing with contracts and legal issues for over 30 years. He went to law school to reduce cost in the business, however during this time found a new passion in helping people through the legal hurdles that we all face at some point in time in our life.
Charles has been married to his wife Gina since 2003 and they have an adopted daughter whom they have had since birth. Actually since day one, as they were in the birthing room when she was born. Going through the adoption process has given us insight and experience from the clients view and understand the stress that comes along with an adoption, not to mention they have also undergone the stress of three failed IVF rounds, so understanding that stress and expense is nothing new to them either.
Charles focuses mostly on Family Law issues, such as Guardianships, Divorce, Custody or Visitation, and Adoptions. However, he is also very adept with Construction Law, general Business Law, and Tax Law.

- Q. How can I pursue bigamy charges in Oklahoma with common law marriage evidence?
- A: If there was an intent to have a ceremonial marriage then you cannot be considered common law married. One of the elements of a non-ceremonial marriage (“common law” marriage) is there is no intent to have the ceremony ((even if that is just going before the judge))

Again the state usually doesn’t do anything to prosecute this. However, it will invalidate his marriage with his new wife.
None of his actions should affect your divorce as it has to go through the proper course to become final. Contact an attorney to assist you with this process if you do not have one currently.
- Q. How to sue for 4th Amendment violation in Oklahoma?
- A: 4th amendment protects from unwarranted searches and seizures. From initial observations, Mountain Park has a municipal ordinance prohibiting this, that is why you did not see it in the Oklahoma Statutes. Furthermore, if the passengers were minors who were not "secured" properly, they still had a good traffic stop. If they have a valid traffic stop, then there is no violation of the 4th amendment, anything that transpired as a result of the stop is valid. If you still feel you have a violation then contact an attorney and have them assist you in the filing as this would be in Federal Court since it is a violation of a Constitutional Right, you do not want to attempt filing it on ...
