That's not an unusual amount of time for a custody trial decision. Once it gets closer to a month you can call the court and ask for an update.

This would be a motion to modify parenting time. This is a very common motion, and many courts have self-help forms that you can use to file the motion yourself if you go to the court in-person.

He is wrong. Unless she adopts them, or gets some other kind of court ordered right, his new wife and your current boyfriend have the same amount of rights to the children, which is none.
He also misunderstands what an emergency contact is. It is just that. An emergency contact. It implies... View More

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.
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.

Step one is to defeat the protection order by demonstrating that it is not justified. Simultaneously your son should file in his county's juvenile court for parenting time.

Justia indicates that you are in Florida. Spousal support and child support are very state specific. I recommend that you reach out to the Florida bar for this, and not the Ohio bar.
