Sorry, but we don't have such emancipation in Ohio. If she is physically abusive, you can call 241-Kids for assistance.
I have not taken this time to do what i need to do like go to treatment or get clean. I need to and i have every intention. But im not able to see children

You should be able to get supervised time with your children. See if you can obtain a public defender to file a motion for you. You need to make treatment your number 1 priority.
His parents come pick up the kids. Sometimes he would ride along. Now he’s not coming at all and I find out tat he isn’t there for the visits at all. What can I do?

You can file a motion to modify parenting time based on his failure to exercise his time. His parents may file a motion for grandparents rights.
He took it and wont give it back to me. Is he legally allowed to do that?

I'm sorry for your situation. Unfortunately, while you are a minor, your parents are in control. Unless your father is physically abusing you, there is nothing you can legally do.
They are not married to each other but he is married to another woman. He has withheld their son from my daughter & us for a month now for revenge.

Yes, a kidnapping charge could be filed, but mom will have to cooperate in that. If she's afraid of arrest, she should obtain an attorney to assist with that case. The longer she waits to get her child back, the worse it will look to the court.

You would need to make an effort to find your spouse. If you cannot, then you file for divorce and serve your spouse by publication. Once that service is complete, you will have a hearing with the court where you will have to testify regarding marital assets and debts, if any, the court must divide.
I have not seen or heard from my daughter or her mother since April 2017. She completely cut off all contact and accuses me of abuse. I have never hurt my child or ever left a mark on my daughter. I do spank her when needed but give multiple chances for getting that point. She has no proof of abuse... View More

You have the right to parenting time with your daughter. Unfortunately, because you waited so long to take action, you will have to become reacquainted with your daughter. That means gradually increasing your time with her. If the mother claims abuse, you will have to defend yourself. If that... View More
Have a signed notarized agreement to gift the profits of home to other spouse
answered on Feb 4, 2021
Need more facts. If you were separated, physically & financially, when this was written, it could be a partial separation agreement and valid. If this was done while you were still living together or still financially together, it would not be, ax we do not recognize post-nuptial agreements in Ohio.

The court will always try to reunite children with a parent, barring any proof of ongoing abuse. I'm surprised the initial visits have not been supervised. You might be able to get them supervised now if the counselor will testify about concerns for the children's well being.

If your spouse does not sign a separation agreement or shared parenting plan, you will have to pursue a court order.
The father of my child and I had gotten back together trying to work things out, we filed an "agreed entry" with the courts stating that we agree to do what's best for the child and he would pay zero support. We did not work out we are no longer together and he is not doing whats... View More

I agree with the other answer & add that if it has been 3 years since you dismissed support, CSEA will review at no vharge to you.
I just dont want me to not be able to get a house bc they are using my credit for him to keep the house
answered on Jan 19, 2021
You will probably have trouble qualifying since you are on another house loan. You should have required you ex to refinance the loan.
agree to all of her demands and he finally found evidence of her adultery, she filed for divorce. For 4 months since, it has been hell.

Your friend should discuss his attorney for his plan & time frame. He may also wish to obtain a second opinion on how to proceed. It is very difficult to provide more without knowing more details on the case and orders.
I have been divorced for 3 years. My ex has the house bc it's his grandfathers. He filed the paperwork for me to get off the house but the bank wont let me bc of his debt to income ratio. I want off the house bc i would like one on my own. It's part of the divorce settlement
answered on Jan 17, 2021
Sorry for your situation. Does your divorce settlement provide that if your ex cannot refinance he must sell the house? That is likely the only way you can get off the mortgage debt if he cannot refinance. If it doesn't, you can ask if he'd agree to do so, but he has no legal requirement to.
My husband and I are divorcing. The house is in both our names, but all the utilities are in my name. I moved out in October. Should I keep them in my name until the divorce is done or turn them off and make him turn them on in his name?
answered on Jan 17, 2021
I agree with the prior answer if the divorce has been filed. If not, you are legally free to do this, but you should inform your husband so he has the opportunity to just change to his name without service disconnection.
My daughter is 15. I have full

Did your custody order allow you to move out of state with the child without the father’s agreement or court permission? That would be unusual. You can file for contempt in Ohio in the county where the agreement was filed.
The guardian ad litem filed no contact order for my daughter and i stating i was mentally unstable and on drugs which im neither and she never even met me i have never seen her or anything ahe just told the magistrate that from the word of my exwife
answered on Nov 20, 2020
Do you have an attorney? You need an experienced child custody attorney to assist you. Have you seen the psychological report? Your attorney will need to review that to determine how to proceed?
He said he doesn’t owe it to me because while we were separated and the divorce was not finalized he was giving me support money out of the kindness of his heart. So we should be equal or I should pay him back for doing that. Is that true?
answered on Nov 20, 2020
No, you owe him nothing. For him to change the support he owes you now, he would need to file a motion to modify. If you file for contempt for his non-payment, that might prompt him to do so.

See if the domestic relations court in the county where you live has a law clinic where you can receive free legal assistance with your court filings.
Right now divorce is not on the table, they are receiving separate counseling. My father is volatile, and I would not like her to be caught off guard. What are some things she should keep in mind going forward if my father tries to surprise her with divorce papers?
answered on Oct 23, 2020
There are not enough facts here to provide specifics. She should try to gather all documents she can on his income and their assets and debts. She should then seek a consultation with an experienced family law attorney in your area.
