The inheritance was left in one spouse’s name and in separate investment account. Quarterly dividend checks have sometimes been used for items for both spouses. Principal never been cashed or moved.
It is highly unlikely that would be considered marital property.

Yes. Any evidence that you would like to use at trial must be disclosed in advance to the court and to any other party to the case.

A friend performed the wedding and I just found out that he was not registered with the state at the time. I'm not sure if anyone was aware of it at the time. He didn't register until 2 years afterwards. I want a divorce now i am not sure if I should file for an annulment instead. There... Read more »
You are very likely still legally married and would need a divorce, not an annulment.
In Ohio, if the noncustodial parent has either 1) not had more than de minimus contact with or 2) failed to provide support to the child for one year or more, you do not need their consent to the stepparent adoption.
No. If you want her to remain in Ohio you will need to file for divorce and seek a restraining order preventing her from taking marital property outside of the state. Absent a court order you cannot prevent her from driving the car.
My husband and I have had full custody of his 13 year old son for over 10 years now. Mom has since had another child who is now 6 years old which custody was given to her mother who has since passed away.

If the child is not going to be placed with child services because of the mother's drug use, then you or the grandmother can file a private custody action in Juvenile court. You or her will need to prove 1) that the mother is unfit and 2) that putting the child in the care of a non-parent is... Read more »
The father doesn’t live in the house with the child and has no court rights. The mother and father never married and he want to put a restraining order against someone who lives in the house with the child so they have to leave.
The father does not have standing to obtain a restraining order on behalf of the child. He would need to petition the court for emergency custody before he could do that.
This doesn't prevent him from calling the police or CPS, but he himself couldn't ask for a protection order civilly.
I've had custody of a family members child for 2 years, the child has lived with me for over 4 years. No order of support was made due to their living on government assistance at the time. They always stated they would send money but never did. They cut off communication except for 2 hours at... Read more »
Three hours per year would likely constitute de minimus contact and their consent would not be required to proceed with the adoption.
You will need to open an estate and probate the assets.
N/a
You need to file a motion to modify custody in the court that currently has the existing order. You will likely then need to transfer jurisdiction to where the child currently lives. You will be arguing that the mother has abandoned the child per the perales standard and have a strong likelihood of... Read more »
They live with her but I am a very present father. I do more for them than I do for myself. Anything they need I always buy.
If you pay child support, you may be able to make an argument to claim one or more of the children, but it will be a fact-determination by the court.
What can I do.
Call the police. He is trespassing and conducting an illegal eviction.
I am exe of an estate. I am beneficiary of funds from Merrill Lynch acct. lawyer said if it was someone else I would have to give the funds to them. He said since I am the beneficiary I have to put it in her estate. The transfer was after death and I had already talked to Merrill Lynch. Is this... Read more »
You don't. If you are the named beneficiary of the IRA then those are non-probate assets and you can take them directly outside of the estate.

You don't need a lawyer to get him on child support. Go to your local child support enforcement agency office and apply, in person, for a support order for your children. They will handle the rest.
Can I cancel the agreement? And he won't give me any receipts that I paid him up front...and he also lied about the amount he promised my bf working for him. We were helping him out with letting him have the job and getting his name out there and he tried to pull one over on us...do we have... Read more »
Yes. If you've paid him, but only because he told you he was licensed, then the contract was induced by fraud. Take note that if he did any work, you may have to provide some kind of compensation.
This may also be a violation of Ohio's Consumer Sales Practices Act.
Thank you!
No. She can't. It sounds like she just enjoys filing things with the court. She should be sanctioned for sending the child out of state.
I’m 16 and my mom and her boyfriend are horrible and I’ve had enough she seems to play favorites and so much more I want to go live with my boyfriend and his mom I plan on telling my mother the exact location of where I am is there anything my mother can do about it?
Yes. If she really wants to she can have you arrested as an unruly child and brought back to her. Please talk with her about this before you just up and leave.

If there was no actual start and no costs incurred by the contractor, then no one has any rights. Everyone can terminate the contract without penalty. The only exceptions would be if 1) there was anything in the contract granting profit under the contract or 2) the contractor incurred any initial... Read more »
