If the ex has no custody rights, then the police should assist you. But if they won't, then you can't force them to help you. So if the police won't get involved, then you must do as the police suggest and file in court. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local family law... View More

You defend by retaining a criminal law attorney. Use the Find a Lawyer tab. Bullying should be something discussed with the school principal.

Ohio does not permit it. They are her parents, and they make the decisions if CPS won't get involved. See this link for more information:

He is getting out of hand. Skipping school , coming home at whatever time he chooses and kicking down my bedroom door. What rights do I have as a step dad that's been here 5 years and his mom needs help. Any suggestions? Please help before things get worse.

You might have to call the police, and he might have to spend some time in juvenile detention. No easy answer. What about his father? Is he involved? Talk to a school counselor for some suggestions. Best wishes.

She is your mother and has responsibility for you. Having a baby at 16 does not demonstrate making responsible decisions. You are still a minor, even if you have a baby, and you must follow her rules unless there is some situation to report to children's services. Here is more information:... View More

No, you can't contact her. That would violate the order. If you do that, you could put her in trouble. Do you want to do that to her? Move on, and have no contact with her.

Your parents are legally obligated to support you until you are 18. If they will permit it, you could move, but a minor is not able to enter into any legally enforceable contracts, like a lease. Would you have health insurance, car insurance? Have you worked out a budget of all your expenses?... View More

The court will decide whether he gets cautioned, ordered to perform community service, put on probation, or the court could send him to juvenile detention.
We are exactly 3 years, 11 months, and 14 days.

Dating is not illegal. But other contact with a minor beyond "dating" can be illegal, depending on the circumstances.

Your will can nominate someone to be your child's guardian. But a court does not have to follow that, and the court will make the decision on who gets custody. The biological father and other family members could seek custody. The court would then determine what is in the child's best... View More

Do you intend to sue them? They can put limits on you since you are a minor and they are responsible for you. Their house, their rules, until you are 18.
answered on Jan 19, 2018
It would depend on the circumstances, like if he is put on probation.
answered on Jan 19, 2018
If there are charges against you, the juvenile court will determine the proper punishment, which could include probation, community service, counseling, etc.
I planned on moving out in May when I’m 16 and a half. My grandmother said I could but, she said that I need to get emancipated because I am under her custody. What do i do to get emancipated?
answered on Jan 18, 2018
No, you can't. Until you are 18, you are a minor, and your parents or legal custodian are obligated to support you. Here is more information.

He's never harmed or committed a crime against me or my family, they just don't want us together and are threatening to do this so he can't contact me. Can I contact him or get the order dropped when I turn 18? Or can I fight this before they file the order?
answered on Jan 18, 2018
Yes they can do that, and it seems like they have good reason for it. They probably are thinking of your future - which could be less than they had hoped, if he is already in jail.
