His job is full time, non-exempt in a non-union Ohio manufacturing plant that employees more than 200 people. He has been employed there for 13 years. During the summer months, the work can be slow, so instead of a shut-down, the plant limits a person's hours each day.

Police seldom get involved in withholding matters, even though they should. It is likely that you will need to file a motion with the court to hold him in contempt and modify parenting if he actually violates the parenting time order.
Landlord is refusing current months rent because they are about to give an eviction notice but no notice has been given yet. When requested they refuse to put anything in writing
if both spouses using separate accounts paid $30,000 on mortgage and one paid 20,000 and the deserting one paid 10,000, can deserting spouse who paid less be forced to pay the extra 5000 to meet an equity division requirement regardless of profit on the sold house?

Potentially yes. It would require an order from the domestic relations court as to the split of equity and assets.
And if a court ruling is required for this and one spouse has proof that they paid more on the mortgage than the other spouse, does that give them a favorable stance in getting a ruling for them to sell it the way they want to or transfer the mortgage they want to?

The court decides. Paying more on the mortgage is only one of many factors that the court would use in splitting all assets, not necessarily just the equity from the house.
My daughter's husband is leaving her. She can't afford to make payments on the house or buy him out. She wants to sell the house for only the mortgage balance (plus closing costs) or have someone else assume the mortgage. If the husband refuses, what legal recompense does she have if any...

Unfortunately none at the moment. She will need to file for divorce and obtain a court order as to either the transfer of the house into her name so she can sell it or an order selling the house.

I currently live in FL; however, recently I was named as a defendant for a property that is being foreclosed on in Summit County Ohio. I owned the property in 2014 and sold it in 2016 and currently have no interest in the property. I am not sure how I was named in this situation with the courts.... View More

It is likely that you were named in an abundance of caution as having a potential interest in the property. All parties with an interest in a property must be named in a foreclosure. You can likely do nothing and be fine, but if you'd rather file something with the court disclaiming your... View More

If your divorce decree did not award any portion of your military pension to your ex-spouse at the time of the divorce, it is generally difficult for them to claim it after the fact. In Ohio, courts usually make final rulings on division of assets at the time of divorce, and retroactively reopening... View More
