If there was no survivorship deed then you will need to open an estate to transfer the property out of the estate by selling it. You will need the court, and likely the other beneficiary's consent, to sell the house. The income from the sale will then become an asset of the estate and need to... View More

You do have recourse. They are not able to rescind an offer once you accept it. They are using that word, rescind, but really what they're doing is terminating the contract.
Before you start looking at recourse, see if you can get your old job back. Regardless of what happens with the... View More

If the policy named the mom the beneficiary then she should not need a financial guardianship. If it named the child as beneficiary then the mom does need to apply for guardianship with the court to hold the funds until the minor is an adult.

If your concern is the credit card companies continue to call you then you need to do two things. 1) Tell them to stop calling you (and note the date) and 2) if they call you again contact a consumer attorney. If they contact you to collect a debt after you've told them to stop calling you... View More

Now is an excellent time for you to get a medical marijuana card. There are a variety of physicians out there who can get you one, and if you are using marijuana for medical purposes then that cannot be used as the sole reason to deny you custody.

I remember being told when I move in that I have to give a 30 day notice when I want to terminate my contract at the end of the first 12 months.

Be very careful as a power of attorney in putting assets in your name or naming yourself as a future beneficiary of assets. The law in Ohio is that if you do that as a power of attorney then the transfer is presumed to be the result of undue influence, and you must then overcome that presumption.

Every custody order I've ever seen has restrictions on leaving the state without court approval. If there is one like that, file a motion to show cause with your domestic/juvenile court as to why she should not be held in contempt for violating the court order.

Their actions are likely violations of Ohio's Consumer Sales Practices Act. If they haven't paid you but have demanded more money before they give you a refund, you can likely seek your damages from them, plus treble (three times) damages, and reasonable attorney fees.

The father is under the impression that if he can't control the son, the next place for him to go is foster care, because the mother can't get custody back. And I don't think that's true.

If the mother voluntarily gave up custody, she can still seek custody if the father no longer wants it. She doesn't waive her rights forever.

If they don't, then future cases can be barred. This is to encourage efficient litigation and discourage... View More

Based on your description you have a very good chance of obtaining custody over your children. I recommend you contact a family law attorney in your area and move for a change in custody based on a change in circumstances.
