The last Order on the docket is what the Sheriff is going to have to follow. You may wish to set the motion for a hearing prior to the set out date. If the Court does not rule on the motion the effect is the same as denying your motion. Your question did not indicate whether the payments sent... View More

I agree with my colleague for the most part.. However, I feel the need to stress that OH typically doesn't speak in the language of full custody versus part custody. Typically, Ohio courts speak as to whether or not a parent is the primary residential parent. Very rarely does a parent not have... View More

I agree with my colleague. Further, if your hope is to completely cut off father from communicating or visiting with your son, under the circumstances you describe that will not happen.
