What items can I legally retrieve? For example, things my parents have bought me as gifts, clothing, things others have bought me as gifts, etc.

What you're entitled to retrieve versus what the police and your parents will allow you to retrieve quite likely will be different. Police are not in the business of sitting around mediating. I would not expect to retrieve more than a few bags of clothes within the 10 or so minutes the police... View More 
He is currently on consent calendar. When we spoke with his juvenile probation officer he said that we needed to have FOC change custody in order to have my son released to his dad and that he would be violating his probation if he were to live in another county.

For the best advice, we'd need to know the terms of any existing custody order. Has there been one? If not, then only you are a "parent" for juvenile placement purposes. Even if you do, a proper juvenile placement with dad would mean that he would need to have a court order giving... View More

DO NOT DO IT! You trying to split hairs about ages and birth dates will get you clubbed over the head by the long arm of the law if you two do engage in sex while she is under age 16. You are about to be 18. But you don't need to wait until then to find yourself facing a real adult prison... View More
My partner is from Michigan but lives in Ohio. We have a 3 bedroom home and a 3 year old daughter. Our spare room is an office/playroom because my job requires me to have my own personal work space (I do billing and data entry from home 25-32 hours a week). Since my daughter is 3 it is half a play... View More

The child needs a suitable place to sleep. Whether the office / spare room is suitable is a question of fact. From what you're telling us, and unless the parenting time order specifies something, I don't see how your setup would be "illegal".
I just don't want her mother to file any charges against him once he turns 18. She is fine with their relationship but has a tendency of being dramatic when she's mad.

So you want to get him in trouble out of revenge? That vindictiveness is short-sighted. How will he support his two illegitimate children without a job?
I was involved in an email chain that was explicit for ONE line. I posted an ad on craigslist looking to hook up with a woman. I received an email from someone. I said something explicit. Then someone replied and stated that I sent the message to a minor. I replied that I had no idea and I... View More

I'm not sure what is the connection between the chain email and your ad. Nevertheless, most likely, your action. May be the subject of a crim investigation investigation.

We are currently paying support to his grandparents, but they don't receive the money. After our son was removed from their home, we filed for support payment to cease, but we were denied.
