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.

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.

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... View More

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... View 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... View More

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... View 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.
Please see Ohio Revised Code 5321.16 Procedures for security deposits. As far as I can tell from reading the law it seems landlords are required to send an itemized security deposit list regardless of whether or not there is back rent owed. Can you still collect damages if they fail to provide the... View More

Yes, but you're only entitled to double damages and fees if you sent them a request for the deposit and gave a forwarding address. If you did that then you could have a case.

You need to file a complaint for the allocation of parental rights and responsibility and for parenting time. If you are in Cleveland, this can be done at the Cuyahoga Juvenile Court. You need to establish a custody order first.
What rights would the mother have if the father decided not to give the children back after the agreed visiting weekend? There are no court orders and the children have been living with the mother at their primary residence.
Thank you for your time.

If the parties are unwed and there is no parenting order in place then the father has no parenting time rights. The mother can take the kids back, using the police if she wishes. It would then be up to the father to seek a parenting order.

It depends on what the will says. Usually, there is a provision saying that if someone predeceases the decedent, that their share goes to their children evenly. That's the default rule anyway in Ohio if the will is silent on that. If either of those are true then you should be sharing evenly... View More
Will a simple statement (without a list of transactions) work? Or do they need the original agreement and list of transactions? This is for an unpaid credit card debt that was charged off and sold to Midland Credit. (Assume you're trying to fight it without filing bankruptcy please.)

A statement will work showing that you made charges. They don't need the original agreement. They do have to prove that they actually own the debt, and many times don't bother to prove that.

The process to have it done is to sell the property to someone else. I don't understand how it's in your name if it's been sold three times. Are you referring to the note being sold or the property being sold?

Agree with Mark Turner's answer. I would add that if you need to make decisions for her then I would recommend that you pursue a guardianship to take care of her and her finances.
