i usually only smoke like one bowl a day and if i get a medical card will i be ok no matter what

answered on Mar 29, 2023
It is illegal to smoke marijuana in Ohio. This is true even if you have a medical card. Your employment is also not protected from the use of marijuana even if you have a medical card. Marijuana in your system will likely be determined to be a contributing factor in any accident.

If you don't have an existing custody order, I'd recommend pursuing one and making a condition of the order being that everyone uses a third-party messenger service, like Our Family Wizard, to communicate. The benefit there is that anyone, including the court or GAL, will have instant... Read more »
We are trying to contract with an illustrator. Our CEO is insistent that we require the illustrators physical mailing address for the contract to be valid, the illustrator is only offering us his email at this time.

answered on Jan 27, 2023
It can be valid without an address. I agree with your CEO though that you should require a physical mailing address in the contract. If the contract is breached and you need to sue then you will need their address to start the lawsuit.

If you are married, you should file for divorce and seek a temporary child support and spousal support award as part of your filing. If you are not married, you should go to your county's child support enforcement office to obtain an administrative child support award.

If the father has failed without good cause to see the child OR has failed to provide more than de minimus support for at least one year prior to a petition for adoption, you can obtain adoption over your grandchild without his consent.

Your father needs to seek a guardian ad litem to represent you in the divorce. Talk to the guardian once they are appointed and tell them this information. It is very likely that the guardian will recommend custody to your father if they hear you say that, even without proof.
If you are... Read more »

Why are you doing this? The short answer is "yes", but there can be consequences to doing this if it is in the context of a divorce. If you are doing it pre-divorce, and transferring for no value, then the court can make you pay back the marital equity to your spouse in the divorce as you... Read more »

I filed a complaint with BBB and have all documentation, including contractor's acknowledgement of failed fix. What are my next steps?

answered on Dec 12, 2022
If you are in a municipality that requires a contractor bond, then you can make a claim on the bond for the work that is not up to code up to the value of the bond. Otherwise you will have to bring a lawsuit against the contractor. It is likely that you would have a claim under the Consumer Sales... Read more »
How to I obtain this information

answered on Dec 12, 2022
You would send discovery responses to the parent asking them to assert that. You could also send subpoenas to their health care providers.
Getting health information of a party is extremely tricky. I do not recommend that you try this without counsel.

Why not do a grandparent power of attorney instead? It's through the juvenile court and gives power to act as guardian over the minor child without actually doing guardianship proceedings. It also is extremely easy to undo.
Will I need a lawyer for this court date, for the tax exemption, and my Fathers rights? And will a shared parenting plan be a separate court hearing after this one?

answered on Nov 9, 2022
Custody and child support are held in separate proceedings. If you are still at the administrative level, which I suspect you are if you filed objections, then CSEA has very little wiggle room on child support calculations. Typically you would seek to have the order adopted by the Juvenile court... Read more »

Deposit your rent with your local municipal court and seek an order compelling the landlord to make repairs. DO NOT STOP PAYING RENT, just pay it to the court instead.

No. The covid emergency orders explicitly stated that you could NOT do this. If she is doing this in violation of a parenting order then you can file a motion to show cause.
The bar is in my neighborhood and I am sick of the crime it brings.

answered on Oct 19, 2022
In some limited cases, you can bring a claim for nuisance against the bar and seek to enjoin it from operating. This is typically done by the municipality, sometimes by a community development clinic or other non-profit, and very infrequently done by private individuals.

he has always seen her now on a typical visitation schedule with extra parenting time. We've never been to court but everytime we have plans so I say no to extra time (which is not alot) he threatens to file and never does

answered on Oct 7, 2022
If you are unmarried, and there is not custody or visitation order, then fathers in Ohio have no right to parenting time. You do not have to file anything. If he wants parenting time he must petition the court.
The time to go through probate in this case has passed so I am looking for other options by which to transfer title to the heirs

I don't think the time has passed. If there are newly discovered assets then the probate case can be reopened.
You probably don't need to do that. Many counties now provide for an affidavit for transfer and record of real estate inherited that, if there is no will and the heirs... Read more »
