It sounds like your husband has hired an attorney on a limited representation basis. That is, the attorney is just drafting documents, but your husband is handling the rest. If that's the case then this does sound above-board.

It can be used against you the same way that consuming alcohol can be used against you. If you use to excess or it effects your ability to parent, that will be a strike against you. If it does neither of those things, it is a very low likelihood that it will derail the adoption.
If my ex wanted to use my medical card in Ohio against me, could he despite not having parental rights and my husband having adopted my children?

He is not the non-custodial parent if your spouse adopted the kids. He is not a parent at all. It would be basically impossible for him to obtain parental rights by attempting to utilize your use of medical marijuana in a custody dispute.

I got to see my daughter twice for 3 hours in a year. We tried mediation and her mother didn't want to continue it. The magistrate said my options were to go to trial or get a lawyer? I'm not sure what each mean and what to do. I have another court date on April 23 at 1 pm.

A guardian can only use funds for the person over whom they are acting as guardian. Using funds for personal use could open the guardian to personal liability, civil and criminal action. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to consult a local estate planning attorney to discuss the guardianship.
