Asked in Child Custody and Family Law for Ohio

Q: How do I get my child’s fathers rights removed?

My child’s father is constantly in and out of his life, usually for 6-9 months at a time, especially when he is single. He has been going to his house regularly because he has a girlfriend and a house to live in but she has told me that he has been beating on her and putting holes in the walls, he has broken one of my son’s teeth, and he is smoking weed around the children, and she is about to leave him and I don’t want him around my child. What are my odds of having his rights removed?

A: It is not possible to answer your question on-line. It depends on all the facts and circumstances. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local family law attorney who can review your situation and advise you of your options. A judge must determine what is in the best interest of the child in making decisions about parental rights. Your attorney will help you explain the situation to the judge.
