Well it sounds like this might be the case, there's really no substitute by for investing in the time of an attorney to actually review the language of the agreement about what you're talking. It's the contract for sale of the home and your agreement with the realtor that's... View More

I don't see a specific question here. It sounds like you may wish to either file a motion to enforce your present agreement, or in the alternative terminate your agreement in favor of you having custody reserving visitation to the other parent.

What you should truly do is seek out an attorney who has both some criminal defense experience, and education law experience. Your question doesn't state whether or not this student has a 504 plan or an IEP. If either of the is the case, then you need to make sure that the school is conducted... View More

Is it souly on the Rspondent to advoid these calls or can both be charged and arrested ?

Protection orders restrain the respondent, rather than the petitioner. I agree with my colleague, while the petitioner will not get in any kind of legal trouble, it will undermine their ability to maintain the order or in the event that it's only a temporary order and there's an upcoming...

If there truly is no custody order, parenting plan or visitation order on the record, and assuming you and father were never married, you may move. He has the right to file a motion to establish his rights however. You would be best served by investing in an attorney in the county in which you... View More
I sued my landlord for unconscionable clauses in a lease and they are retalitating by not renewing my lease. The landlord kept increasing charges in the middle of yearly leases. I told them its illegal in Ohio w/o an addendum that both parties agree on. I took them to court but as a pro se... View More

Not a darn thing. There is nothing in the law that compels a person to renew a lease once the term is ended. Leases are at their core, contracts. Alternatively, they could agree to renew but at a greatly inflated rate. There would be nothing to stop that either,
I made a verbal agreement with an overseer of rental property about 6-8 years ago. Since then they have passed away.

The landlord or owner of the property cannot evict you because there is a disabled person living there, if the tenant is otherwise in default they certainly may evict for the breach of the landlord-tenant agreement. The lawyer has a breach of the attorney client privilege if they did work for you.

They cannot compel you or your kids to talk with them. The risk you run is that they will construe everything that occurs from that point afterwards with an eye towards your being uncooperative. It will not stop them from having increased scrutiny upon you, and talking to everyone you know and all... View More

I got to see my daughter twice for 3 hours in a year. We tried mediation and her mother didn't want to continue it. The magistrate said my options were to go to trial or get a lawyer? I'm not sure what each mean and what to do. I have another court date on April 23 at 1 pm.
answered on Mar 28, 2024
Mediation is merely voluntary negotiations. This means that if the parties don't agree, as is your case the matter must be decided by the court. Courts decide matters by holding trials. If you truly want shared custody you need to invest in hiring a lawyer to represent you in court. Look... View More

Well it sounds like your ex-husband was abusive to you and a terrible spouse, I am not seeing why a court would at this point terminate his parental rights. By your own account he's not permitted to contact you. Does this extend your child? What rights can he presently exercise while he is in... View More

There is nothing in the Ohio landlord tenant statute that speaks specifically to this.

In a word "yes"! It is the demonstrated needs of the child, rather than a diagnostic label that drives what services he or she receives as part of an IEP. If you plan to make an argument that he should receive a 1 to 1 aide, then you need to be able to point to the collected data (from... View More

She and the ex need to file a joint entry (with the judge's signature) modifying the parenting plan to reflect this new situation. Once that is in place she needs to contact CSEA and provide a certified copy of the filed entry to them requesting the modification of the support award.
