Charles Watts
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. Bought Ford F150, noticed rust under vehicle. No warranty, dealership silence. Options?
- A: I understand your frustration. Rust on the underside of a vehicle, especially one that is 6 years old, could just as easily be neglect on the previous owner. If the previous owner drove in muddy conditions a lot, such as a construction company and they didn't wash the underside properly, or if they are near a coast line where there is a lot of salt water, then the rust could be completely natural. Other areas to check for flooding are going to be inside the vehicle, such as looking for rust on the brake pedal, water in the headlights / taillights, or pull the seatbelt all the way out and look for water damage on it, if a dealer was trying to hide flood damage they often overlook the seatbelt. ...

- Q. Can I pursue bigamy charges if my son's father married someone else while living with me in Oklahoma, a common-law marriage state?
- A: Oklahoma is & is not a common law state -- There are still requirements to be met for the 'non-ceremonial' marriage (which is the closest thing to common-law) - Based on the limited facts you stated, it would be hard to meet the burden of proof to actually depict such. Having a child together, or the sharing of accounts, credit cards, and vehicles is not sufficient to meet the burden.
- Q. Are sheriff’s deputies required to give their name and badge number upon request?
- A: I assume you are speaking of Major County sheriff deputies as you mentioned Fairview. A common misconception is the only law enforcement agency that has jurisdiction within city limits is the city themselves. However, this is incorrect. The City of Fairview is located inside Major County; therefore a Deputy has jurisdiction as well because they have jurisdiction throughout the entire county. Oklahoma Highway Patrol even though not a city or county agency would also have jurisdiction on Highway 60 or 58. OBN would have jurisdiction because they have Statewide jurisdiction. So, to answer your question, they do not have to be called or dispatched to insert themselves into the situation.
