KAUGER, Vice Chief Justice:

The complainant, Oklahoma Bar Association (Bar Association), charged the respondent, Darril Lonnie Holden (Holden/attorney), with a single count of misconduct— advising his client, Steven D. DeVore (De-Vore/father), to remove his minor child from Oklahoma in violation of a court order. We find that the Bar Association established by clear and convincing evidence1 that Holden advised his client to remove a child from Oklahoma in violation of a court order.2 The conduct warrants a one year suspension and the payment of costs in the amount of $5,333.39.3
