Court order states no party shall block the other. The plaintiff put my messages to ignore on FB messenger so my messages were not getting delivered and if I tried to call it would automatically hang up. Would that be considered going against orders?
Based on what you report of the order, yes. However, I would prefer to see the entire section before stating if you would be successful on a contempt motion.
She was/is with him for his time according to our shared parenting plan. He is refusing to allow me to pick up our daughter. Can I take her against his wishes and can I refuse visitation with him due to his positive covid result (
Generally, the Courts are not requiring parents to relinquish parenting time due to a positive COVID test. Has your daughter been vaccinated or is she too young? Does she have any health conditions? Is he wearing a mask, having her do so, and keeping distance?
You might see if her... Read more »

However, 3 years have passed and I am capable to take care of my children however their father seems unwilling to let me get custody. I am prepared to go to court but I... Read more »
Normally, you would file in the state where the divorce occurred. If that was Wisconsin, the father may get it moved to Ohio because that is where the children are and where any custody investigation should occur. If it was a state neither of you live in now, you file in Ohio where the children are.
Birth father not on birth certificate and has not established paternity at all. No child support has been established or paid. Would a will be needed? Would the court notify him if no paternity established?
Grandparents will need to file for guardianship in probate court. Father will have to be notified and may then file for custody.
My husbands children are 27 and 28 years old. When he was with the mother of the children she decided to go to Puerto Rico while she was pregnant and stayed there without his consent and had the child in Puerto Rico. He said he tried back then to establish child support and it was very difficult.... Read more »
Sounds like some entity is trying to collect support from him. You need to retain a local attorney to determine if the order is valid.
A non-attorney GAL filed a motion which incorrectly refers to a child victim in my case as the offender. She has made no effort to correct it. I was afraid to push the issue before her evaluation was finished. Now that it is, I want the record to be corrected. How do I ask the court for this?
Motions cannot be corrected. Only entries can.
The “donor” doesn’t want to move forward until he gets something in writing saying she will never sue for support, what’s the best way to go about this?
You need to engage a local family law attorney to draft a contract to cover all aspects of this agreement.
My son is in a custody battle. The guardian ad liedeum seems to be believing everything the mother tells her. Even making my son get his house inspected for structural soundness because the mother said it not structural sound. Can his lawyer make much difference in his custody battle or is it all...

Your son should meet with his attorney to discuss his concerns and what can be done. If he is not satisfied with those answers, he should seek another opinion.
Is the father but the hospital won’t let him sign the birth certificate is that a law in Ohio?
Your son needs to file for a paternity finding. He can call the Dept. of Job & Family Services to learn how or obtain a local attorney to assist.
If the child was conceived in Ohio, he could file here. You might be able to move the case to PA because that is where the child lives.

MY WIFE'S NAME IS ON THE ACCOUNT BUT SHE WAS NEVER GIVEN THE PASSWORD. I CAN PROVE THE MONEY WAS GIVEN TO... Read more »
The money is your separate money unless Wife proves you intended to gift it to the marriage. If you put her name on because you said this is our money, that would be a gift If you put her name on so she could easily inherit if you died during the marriage, that is not a gift. You do need to discuss... Read more »
I opened the account almost 5 years ago and we have been married for almost 15 years
I agree with the other answer. However, there are other separate funds besides inheritance. Talk to a local attorney about your facts.
The father pays child support but the court did not set a visitation schedule due to the mother not showing up for court. She will let him see the kids but only when she wants and she has to be there the whole time. He can't even take the kids out to the park or do anything with them. She only... Read more »
Father needs to file for parenting time again & get actual service on mother. If she doesn’t show then, an order can be issued. If she does appear, Father will need to be prepared to deal with any claims she makes as to why his time should be limited & supervised.

I’m not following your legal situation. Parents don’t have guardianship. They have custody or shared parenting. If father has court ordered parenting time, he has to return your child at the end of his time. If he doesn’t, you can ask the police for help. If father refuses to return him, you... Read more »

Yes, you should inform the GAL.
I'm the victim (ohio) in the case. I asked to press charges but I no longer want to participate in the trial. The pre trial is next month. Can I refuse to testify in the state of ohio?
You need to obtain advice from a criminal defense attorney. If you gave a statement to the police alleging domestic violence and now refute that claim, you could be charged with a crime yourself.
She already didn't let me see him for over two months because our Governor had the stay at home order in Ohio and now she is forcing me to get the vaccine if I want to continue seeing my son. I wondering if all this that she is doing is actually legal.
I agree with the prior answer. The governor’s stay at home order made an exception for parenting time court orders. So, if you had one of those, you could have proceeded with your time. Not sure why you wouldn’t want to get the vaccine, but there is no legal requirement to do so. However, your... Read more »
