Groveport, OH asked in Family Law, Child Custody, Domestic Violence and Juvenile Law for Ohio

Q: How do I "counteract", as quickly as possible, to an ex parte that was granted based entirely on false statements?

There's proof that all statements made against me, which the other party signed, notarized & filed through the courts, are entirely false. Not 1 sentence stated has any truth. They were deliberate lies told by my son's paternal grandmother & my son's father, (who legally has no rights due to no court orders & Ohio being a "mother state".) My 4 yr old was/is suffering severe distress & trauma, & now has a fear of law officers resulted from them coming to our home with police, threaten to arrest me if I didn't hand my son over while screaming, crying, clinging to me pleading not to go to his grandmas who he has nightmares about & is not allowed going to her home due to lack of supervision which resulted in my 4yr old being physically choked by his much bigger 9yr old brother, & multiple sexual abuse incidents by his 6yr old brother, who both live in her home. I've contacted attorneys/local agencies for help. Either no return call or request a large deposit. Please give me some guidance.

A: Well you start by documenting everything. You need people on your side who saw the things you saw. But you also have to be realistic. You need a lawyer on your side and that’s going to cost. Think of the situation you’re in now and what you want to interrupt your peaceful life and get involved. Of course the lawyers want money.
