Under Maryland law, you can be filed with or without cause, at any time. You need to check Ohio law and see if there are better laws for you. Did they pay you what they owed you? If not, you may be able to recover that money.

Generally yes, although if you object to it, the introducing Party will have to lay a foundation for it. See, e.g. Bill Cosby, convicted, according to one Juror because of a deposition that was taken in a civil case years before.

Q: Is it possible to get custody of my sister, father in jail and mom is gone. I have guardianship

I have had guardianship of my sister for over 6 months now, but I've had her living with me for over a year now. Her father is currently incarcerated and has been for a year now. He is a heroin addict and has put her life in danger countless times. Her mothee is out of the picture.

Are you over 18? How old is your sister? Are you employed? How have you done as guardian? You can file in the Circuit Court where you live and seek custody. The Judge will make a decision based on the best interests of your sister. Dad can be served in jail quite easily.
