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.

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.

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.

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.

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... View More

If you are adopted then your dad has no custody rights. If you are being abused or neglected call CPS to make a report and they can remove you from the home.

You have an attorney, so a lot of these questions should go to him or a different florida counsel. In Ohio, it is likely that his objections would be overruled by the probate court as unfounded, especially if there are no assets.

Your landlord is required to give advanced notice, usually 24 hours, before sending people absent an emergency. You can refuse to have the contractors come in without this notice.
