There are way too many unknown facts here to give an accurate answer. As a general rule, the next step after a demand letter is ignored is to file a claim. If it is an employment claim, this generally starts with an administrative filing in the EEOC or OCRC.
I have called the cops and they said they couldn’t do anything but make a report but I’m not sure what I need to do.

Police seldom get involved in withholding matters, even though they should. It is likely that you will need to file a motion with the court to hold him in contempt and modify parenting if he actually violates the parenting time order.
if both spouses using separate accounts paid $30,000 on mortgage and one paid 20,000 and the deserting one paid 10,000, can deserting spouse who paid less be forced to pay the extra 5000 to meet an equity division requirement regardless of profit on the sold house?

Potentially yes. It would require an order from the domestic relations court as to the split of equity and assets.
And if a court ruling is required for this and one spouse has proof that they paid more on the mortgage than the other spouse, does that give them a favorable stance in getting a ruling for them to sell it the way they want to or transfer the mortgage they want to?

The court decides. Paying more on the mortgage is only one of many factors that the court would use in splitting all assets, not necessarily just the equity from the house.
My daughter's husband is leaving her. She can't afford to make payments on the house or buy him out. She wants to sell the house for only the mortgage balance (plus closing costs) or have someone else assume the mortgage. If the husband refuses, what legal recompense does she have if any...

Unfortunately none at the moment. She will need to file for divorce and obtain a court order as to either the transfer of the house into her name so she can sell it or an order selling the house.
We have permanent legal custody of the 4 yr old. She and I are now homeless, but she spends most nights with him. I have no home or bed at the moment for her. I would like child support and spousal support and a place for she and I to live.

Justia indicates that you are in Florida. Spousal support and child support are very state specific. I recommend that you reach out to the Florida bar for this, and not the Ohio bar.

I recommend you ask this question to California lawyers if the divorce happened in California. You posted in the Ohio lawyers section.

Yes. This is called "reverse veil piercing". If there is no meaningful distinction between yourself and the entity, then the credit card company can bring an action against both of you.

Step one is to defeat the protection order by demonstrating that it is not justified. Simultaneously your son should file in his county's juvenile court for parenting time.
She has already shown up at my house at random times demanding to see my kids. Has made false accusations and called the police on me. I have full custody and need some advice. I tried to get a protection order but was told I didn’t have enough evidence at that time.

Yes you can. However, the problem with these kinds of cases, usually, is collectability. Most insurance plans would not cover an intentional attack like this, so it can be very difficult to collect anything monetarily.

No. A power of attorney must be entered into voluntarily. If you believe he can't manage his life and are willing to help then you can seek guardianship.

It's not fraud, but it is a violation of your parenting plan. This could be handled by filing a motion to show cause.

If a person applies for any public benefits they are required to also file for child support. If she did that, it is possible that she signed up for child support and did not even know that she has done so.

The settlor of a revocable trust can change the trust even without a notarized letter. It just needs to be in writing and signed by the settlor, although notarization or witnessing is best practice.

Unfortunately an Ohio attorney is not going to be able to help you here. Because you father lived and died in Alabama, his will and estate will be probated there and be subject to Alabama law. Good luck in your search!
