You need to write CPS and refer to the fact that you retain custody per your Safety Plan. Review the written plan to make sure this is the case. Ask in your writing for all documents concerning your child's medical care. Most importantly, you should seek an attorney to help with... Read more »

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 maternal aunt requested the change. She wants to have visitation in our new agreement. In addition to a motion of change in custody, does the maternal aunt need to file a motion for visitation? Or if our written agreement outlines a visitation schedule is that enough?
answered on Apr 6, 2023
If you an maternal aunt are in agreement, then you can likely draft an Agreed Judgment Entry asking the Court to adopt whatever custody plan that you come up with. So, if you and maternal aunt can negotiate an agreement outside of Court and write it, then you can file that with the Court with an... Read more »

If you don't have an existing custody order, I'd recommend pursuing one and making a condition of the order being that everyone uses a third-party messenger service, like Our Family Wizard, to communicate. The benefit there is that anyone, including the court or GAL, will have instant... Read more »

If you are married, you should file for divorce and seek a temporary child support and spousal support award as part of your filing. If you are not married, you should go to your county's child support enforcement office to obtain an administrative child support award.
In a custody battle. I’m close to getting my kids due to their mother being abusive. Yesterday my ex’s mother posted a video to Facebook playing a song about murdering the man who hurts her daughter.

It seems threatening. But that it to be determined by police or prosecutor. Due to the serious nature of this communication, I would report it to the police. Even if they decide not to pursue it, you will have something on file. Plus, I would print/document/copy the threats. You may be able to... Read more »

Your father needs to seek a guardian ad litem to represent you in the divorce. Talk to the guardian once they are appointed and tell them this information. It is very likely that the guardian will recommend custody to your father if they hear you say that, even without proof.

How to I obtain this information
answered on Dec 12, 2022
You would send discovery responses to the parent asking them to assert that. You could also send subpoenas to their health care providers.
Getting health information of a party is extremely tricky. I do not recommend that you try this without counsel.

Parents are legally responsible and make the decisions until a child turns 18. Ohio does not allow a minor to seek emancipation. Emancipation cannot be accomplished by an act of the child alone. Emancipation is generally through the act of the child's parents regarding terminating child... Read more »

If you are not married to the mother, and there is no court paperwork, then the mother has full custody. If the child is staying with you without any court-approved agreement, then that is a risk for you. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local family law attorney to work out a custody...

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.
Will I need a lawyer for this court date, for the tax exemption, and my Fathers rights? And will a shared parenting plan be a separate court hearing after this one?
answered on Nov 9, 2022
Custody and child support are held in separate proceedings. If you are still at the administrative level, which I suspect you are if you filed objections, then CSEA has very little wiggle room on child support calculations. Typically you would seek to have the order adopted by the Juvenile court... Read more »

No. The covid emergency orders explicitly stated that you could NOT do this. If she is doing this in violation of a parenting order then you can file a motion to show cause.

If you'd like to file for divorce, contact a lawyer that can help and guide you with the process.

he has always seen her now on a typical visitation schedule with extra parenting time. We've never been to court but everytime we have plans so I say no to extra time (which is not alot) he threatens to file and never does
answered on Oct 7, 2022
If you are unmarried, and there is not custody or visitation order, then fathers in Ohio have no right to parenting time. You do not have to file anything. If he wants parenting time he must petition the court.
