Something as broad as any case the appellant has won at the Supreme Court is unlikely to help you too much but here are two from a quick search of the Supreme Court's website: In re R.K., 152 Ohio St.3d 316, 2018-Ohio-23 and In re C.F., 113 Ohio St.3d 73, 2007-Ohio-1104.

The court of appeals could reverse the lower court. In order for that to happen you need to promptly file a notice of appeal and then a brief. It would be a good idea for you to hire an attorney to help you with this.

First, I am not an Ohio lawyer. That being said, an appeal is always an option. Check the court rules about when you must note an appeal, and the next steps after that. It seems from your story that you might have an appeal issue.

Sadly. It sounds like the critical decisions were made 4 years ago. That is well outside the 30 day time-line for appeal. As mother you can always file for a change of legal custody of you can show a change of circumstances of either the child or the child's caregiver.

It depends on who decided your case. If a magistrate decided your case, then you may object to the magistrate's decision. You have to file objections with the court within 14 days of the date that the decision was sent to you. If a judge decided your case, then you need to file a notice of appeal.

This is a forum. It’s likely you can find someone to work with you, but you’ll need to reach out individually to some lawyers in your area.

You can file a motion with the trial court asking to stay the sentence. It’s up to the judge to decide if there is good reason to do so.
