I feel for you because you're in a tough spot. It's too late to change counsel, and you're better off with an attorney, even a disinterested one, than going on your own.

You need to obtain qualified family law counsel in Ohio and file for emergency jurisdiction under the UCCJEA (ask your lawyer). The sooner you can do this, the better.

I recommend you go speak with an attorney who practices in the juvenile courts in Pima County ASAP about filing to terminate his parental rights. If you're going to do it, now is the time. If you don't terminate his rights, he can seek to establish his rights when he gets out of prison.

Yes, I would discuss it all involved ASAP and submit it to the Court as a Supplemental Exhibit ASAP as well. Be aware that the Court might reject it, but it's certainly worth a try. You will also want to review the Court's guidelines for how to submit video evidence.

Sounds like they must have reassigned the judge in your case, and it (presuming service was proper) sounds like you are on the clock to file your Response. Without knowing what type of Petition or other request they filed, I can't advise you further.

Yes, the Court can prohibit you from going to the school.

While, yes, you can file a new OOP, that may not be the most appropriate way to handle this situation.

This is better handled by filing an emergency motion in the family law case. OOP's are not meant to circumvent the custody courts.

I'm not sure what your question is, but I certainly wish you well on the Motion to Reconsider, as the judge should consider your ability to pay for services. I hope the public defense office can foot most of the bill.

As an aside and just as an FYI: Hearsay is permitted in family... View More

Yes, you can file a Motion to Reconsider and explain your financial circumstances. The Court must consider your ability to pay before it can order TI services. Gish v. Greyson, 253 Ariz. 437, 446, ¶ 42 (App. 2022).

Probably not.

If you don’t want to run the risk of fathering a child, a vasectomy is a better option.

I’m bothered by the word “findings.”

Generally speaking, a private investigator would be called as a witness and is able to testify from personal knowledge what he did, what he saw, what an adverse party told him, and what other people said which may be an exception to the hearsay rule.

If your talking about Mother making money by camming, that is not something that's likely to factor in.

Yes. Arizona is a one-party consent state, meaning only one party in the conversation needs to be aware that the conversation is being recorded.

Without knowing more, I am going to say that is a strategy that will most likely backfire and cost you more time with your children in the long run.

Typically, the mechanism to force a judge to do what he/she has a clear ministerial duty to do is called a writ of mandamus.

You should hire an appellate lawyer in Arizona to determine if the judge has a clear ministerial duty to order a confirmation drug test under the circumstances of... View More

That is horrifying.

I wouldn't wait either to file. File a Petition to Modify Legal Decision-making, Parenting Time, and Child Support and a Motion for Temporary Orders without Notice (Emergency Motion) with the Court. You can get those forms off the Pima County Superior Court web site... View More

Yes, it is possible. Whether he'll succeed is another matter. I recommend you speak with an Arizona-based attorney ASAP
