Restitution And Civil Court

Summary

Restitution amounts in Oklahoma felony cases are generally determined by the judge based on the losses suffered by the victim. While the defendants income might be considered, it is not guaranteed that her husbands income will be included. The court cannot directly order someone to get a job, but they can order the defendant to pay restitution, and non-compliance may lead to legal consequences. Given the complexity of your case, including potential grounds for a civil lawsuit for defamation or intentional infliction of emotional distress, it is crucial to consult with a lawyer for precise advice. Considering your profession, the damage to your reputation could be substantial, and you might have a case for defamation and possibly tortious interference with business relations.

The issue is really complicated and I am a victim in a felony case. The defendant does not have a job and refuses to get one. If the judge does not grant me restitution, I will be taking it to civil court. My question is, if they order her to pay restitution, do they base it on her income or her and her husband's combined. He makes good money and she doesn't work

Thank you so much. She sent nude photos of her husband to his boss and got him fired. She told them she was me in the texts. I got fired from my job at a police department. She pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for non-consensual dissemination. She was charged with a felony for false impersonation. Super crazy case.
