They can continue to make payments. The bank doesn't care where the money comes from.
As to transferring the property the easiest way would be to obtain a divorce from your dad and take the house in the divorce subject to obtaining a refinance of the mortgage.

You need to refile under your name solely to have any hope here. Grandparents have no rights to visitation if the parents of the grandchild are legally married. They can get custody, but only if they are able to prove that the biological parent is unfit or abandoned the child.
would like to provide a long term and safe environment for them. What formal agreements or legal status can we be granted for this situation?
Her mother’s home is not safe for her or her child. Emancipation is not an option in Ohio. Her mother would be willing to “sign off” on some... Read more »
You have three options so long as the biological mother is willing to sign-off.
1) Adoption. You can adopt the daughter, which would permanently cut off the biological mother from future parenting.
2) Guardianship. You could assert yourself as a guardian over the child in probate... Read more »
I worked for a home health care company for about a month and they didn’t pay me at all. I had an old traffic violation warrant and went to jail a couple days, but was able to return to work. They claim that since I didn’t turn in my “hard copy” of my hours worked(this is just where I write... Read more »
They are in breach of Ohio wage and hour law. Contact an employment lawyer or file a complaint with the Ohio Department of commerce.
No.
Can you give a little more information? What is the attorney overseeing?
You don't have to physically go there, but you do have to open up a probate case in the county where your dad either resided or passed away. Contact a probate lawyer in that county who can act as an administrator of the estate to ensure you are distributed your inheritance.
I have full custody in ohio and she doesnt have any legal rights as moved to california. Shes demanding I send her to California during the pandemic and I have no clue who she lives with or would be around if something happened.
If she has no rights to visitation then you do not have to send her. If she has out-of-state visitation rights you may have to send her. Review your custody order.
My dad signed a 2 year business lease on 1-19-2021. He passed away 1-31-2021. He leased for 30 years from the landlord, was never late with his payment and now the landlord wants my mom to pay him a year's worth of rent to end the lease. She was never on the lease. They were married for 60... Read more »
If your mom is not a guarantor or co-signer then she has no liability to the landlord and should not pay anything.

This sounds like you potentially have a claim for disability discrimination. If he terminated you because you could not or would not work beyond your work restrictions, that would be actionable.
The bank beneficiary designation will govern and that money will not go through probate.
I hired a roofing contractor to replace my roof. All he have done is tarp the areas that were leaking. However, once my insurance cut the check, he said he needed the whole check to replace my roof but, 25% of the check was supposed to be used for the drywall repairs on the inside. He also said I...

This will depend on what the contract you signed said. Most of the time for roof repair you are required to make payments in intervals, with the full amount due upon completion. If the contract was silent on that, then you should not have to prepay unless specifically stated.
If there was... Read more »

His parents were never married and his father is my son. Can i file for custody of him?
Yes. If the parents are unmarried and you can establish that they are unfit then you can obtain custody.
We live in a duplex in the upstairs apt, either our downstairs neighbor or their constant guests smoke weed. The smell is very distinct and foul and illegal in Ohio. From what I've read, even medical use prohibits smoking it or cultivating. The smell invades our stairway almost daily and... Read more »
The landlord is required to evict anyone they reasonably suspect of using a controlled substance, including marijuana. If you put them on written notice of this, and they fail to do anything about it within 30 days you can either 1) terminate your lease, 2) sue for damages or 3) escrow your rent... Read more »
File a motion for leave to file a response along with an answer to the emergency custody motion and appear at the hearing on emergency custody.
We found out through 23nMe. They divorced when I was a baby. Very messy divorce. He didn’t pay much but only paid till I was 13 years old. I moved in with him from my mother’s due to abuse. Both parents abused me mentally and physically, as well as each other.
No. He waived his right to contest the child support order. The only way to waive the arrearage would be to have your mom agree to it, and even then she cannot waive any support owed to the state.
If it comes back his kid can he right sign rights of the child over to the mother for free
He can consent to her being primary custodian, but he can't waive his rights unless someone else adopts the child.
His support was raised . He has not had a modification in 5 years . He has missed parenting time on occasion and doesn’t pay half of the expenses previously agreed upon .
Support is just a math problem. His objection would be on the basis of either 1) they got his income wrong; 2) they did the math wrong or 3) they are ignoring a prior deviation. If it's 1 or 2, then you can oppose it on the basis that CSEA got it correct. If it's 3 then he will need to... Read more »
Usually, no. If you are served and don't object, however, then the court can award temporary custody. The court could award custody over your objection, but it is very difficult to give a non-biological parent custody rights over a biological parent.
