Q: My ex is trying to withdraw his permission for me and my son to live in ohio.
So I moved to Ohio at the beginning of this year with my sons father's permission(because I moved from Alabama I was told I had to have his permission even though he dosent have any custody) I took my son to see him several times during my stay in ohio. But this last time I am being told by the father that he will not allow me to come get my son to bring him back. Next thing I know I get papers from my sons insurance saying he is no longer a resident of Ohio. I tried to speak to them but they told me even though the father had no custody they will not resolve the situation until he signs off on it. Can someone tell me where to start to fix this mess.
A: This question needs additional information. Is there an existing court order? If so, out of which state? A court that makes a child custody determination has continuing exclusive jurisdiction. So if Alabama issued an order that county still has jurisdiction. You need to review that court's order regarding relocation. If there is no order and the child spent the past 90 days in a single county and 6 months as an Ohio resident, file in your Ohio county. This forum is no substitute for hiring your own lawyer.
