Their father was only in the picture when it was convenient for him. I helped raise, care for, and provide for them since their birth and was with them pretty much everyday. When their Mother passed on January 6, 2018, they went to live with their dad and he has cut off almost all contact with... Read more »
You may file a petition for custody in your county's juvenile court. You have a lot of the deck stacked against you for this. You have to first prove that the father is an unsuitable parent, a high burden, and then prove that custody for you is in the best interest of the minor children. Most... Read more »
Yes. Wrongfully withheld security deposits are subject to double damages plus attorney fees. You must make sure they have a forwarding address, in writing, for them to send the deposit, or it will not count.
We had a house fire, my contractor was given $40k, pulled no permits to work on my house, barely did any work and the work he did do was incorrect and has to be redone. He will not give the money back and at this point will not return phone calls.
This sounds like a violation of Ohio's home construction statute. I recommend bringing an action against him and seeking a claim against his municipal bond.
can she stop them from moving out?
No. They are adults at that time.
I was off work for a total of 6 days. I started showing signs of Covid-19 and sought out medical attention. I was turned away from my family doctor because I had several symptoms of Covid-19. I took an online health screening that advised me to get tested and quarantine until testing was done. I... Read more »
FMLA does not provide for paid leave, so that's out. As to unemployment, that is filed with the state, and they make that determination. Did the state give you a reason as to why they refused unemployment compensation? It sounds like you just voluntarily left the job.
I would need substantially more information to properly answer this. What was the nature of the promissory estopple? Why would you be unable to work for thirty years as a result of the breach of promise?
My daughter is 5 her father has not been in her life at all. Never contacts me never reaches out to me about her. My son is 2 his father has never reached out to me either never contacts me about my son. I'm currently pregnant and my child's father isn't around and I would like my... Read more »
Yes, you can have him sign the birth certificate. You can adopt without the father's consent only if after applying the father is given proper notice. That he has been out of the child's life with no contact for over a year is a grounds for the stepparent adoption.
Yes. Regardless of the name you are entitled to support once paternity is established. If he is already on the birth certificate then this is conclusively established.
I had a bank account with Huntington National Bank back in 2003. I helped a friend get a rental car so he could go see about his daughter that was in the hospital in New York. The rental payment and everything went fine with no problems. Two weeks later I was informed that my account was overdrawn... Read more »
Is someone actually bringing a claim against you? It's unclear from the question. Determining the statute of limitations depends on what cause of action they're bringing.
This happened over 2yrs ago and the title office and everyone else has given us the runaround. The property has since taken on extensive damage due to vandalism ect.. What should be our next steps. Would the county be at least partially responsible for damages? The criminals were ordered almost... Read more »
If the original court proceeding found the transfer to be fraudulent, you can use that to seek a voiding of the transfer. You may need to file a complaint for declaratory judgment and quiet title.
We've called the cops in the past and they didn't help in anyway. My family member is threatening to get us beaten up. We want to leave but we are afraid she will get in trouble for being a runaway. Is there anyway I can gain custody of her even though I'm a full time college student?
You could make a report to child protective services, or alternatively move for guardianship of your sister. You would have to establish in the guardianship proceedings that the parents are unsuitable to care for your sister. This is a high bar, but one that can be helped with a competant... Read more »
How do I now go about filing for custody of my children ..even though she will contest that
You likely failed to get service on her. You need to actually have her served with the refiled complaint. Request service through the clerk of courts via certified mail, and follow up with regular mail if that fails.
Both of our names are on the land contract. Very soon after our divorce, he skipped town, letting me and my son stay on the property. I paid house payments, insurance, and taxes. But the deed is still in the previous owner's name. Now almost 30 years later he's back to "take care of... Read more »
It doesn't make sense that the title hasn't transferred. Have you contacted the seller on this? You may be able to negotiate a sale to you directly, since you were the sole payor.
She said her boyfriend spent the money on illegal drugs to sell and now they are refusing to leave my home and have their friends in there with them living and no one is paying anything but me. There is no lease and I have footage of drug deals on my porch camera. How do I get these people out of... Read more »

Can you provide a little more information about your situation?
We are still legally married. Can i file something that requires her to return to the state?
You can file a motion to show cause with the court asking why she should not be held in contempt. The court will likely force her to enter into a new parenting plan that allows for regular visitation.
My sister's and I have agreed that I get the car worth around $2300 and the split the remaining money left from the insurance after funeral expenses $5000. The funeral cost $ 5000. This is in Kentucky
I would repost this question under Kentucky law and not Ohio.
I live in Ohio and they live in California. Its for a non-profit and non-charitable, if thats a thing, foundation. It's to make changes, not money, for what people like her went through ex: wheel chair measurements and kidney failure sense birth
No. You do not need their permission. A person's name cannot be copyrighted or trademarked.
She committed adultery
Sounds like excellent grounds for divorce. Your location says that you are in Pennsylvania. If that's the case then that's where you will need to file and get advice from a PA attorney. Let me know if you're in Ohio so we can help.
My husband and I purchased the cabin. There was a verbal agreement that the seller would help us find a mover. I told him we would need help with getting a mover the first time I spoke to him. He said yes he would. Then when we proposed an offer and before he went in to the house to talk with... Read more »
It doesn't sound like you were defrauded. The seller gave you the names of two moving companies. Unless there was something specific in there about him actually having to help you move, it sounds like he held up his end of the bargain. You'd be better off just contacting new moving... Read more »
