You can file for an emergency custody order. Generally, your motion has to state the child is in imminent danger.
We are in Ohio and the child is 2.5. Her father and I have been separated for over a year and I have always claimed her. He has her 3-4 days throughout the week, so physical custody is about even. He doesn't claim her due to his child support for his other child is extremely behind. There is... Read more »

If you were not married and there is no custody or support order then he cannot claim her on his taxes.
However we signed and notarized the POA in the hospital as she is competent. He is going to try and say she wasn’t competent, what can I do to protect my mother and the POA we signed in the hospital?

When a new POA is executed that revokes the prior POA, until people are notified that the old POA has been revoked, they might still honor it and follow instructions from the old agent. So the new POA should be given to health care providers, banks, financial advisors, insurance agents, etc. so... Read more »

The most common way is for her to sign a new POA that includes language revoking any prior POA. You may want to consider recording the new POA as well.
answered on Jan 25, 2023
Along with executing the new POA that specifically revokes the prior POA, anyone who received the prior POA should be notified that the prior POA is revoked, and provide a copy of the new POA. Until someone is notified that the prior POA has been revoked, they will have no way to know there is a... Read more »

She would have to apply to the probate court to be appointed guardian. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local attorney who handles guardianships to review your circumstances and advise you.
I would like this case removed expeditiously. As I feel it violates my son and I privacy and protection.

Depending on what type of case it is, there may be avenues to seal the official records. But that doesn't mean that news reports or entries on websites like mugshots.com will disappear. Talk with a lawyer privately.

My father currently has a court appointed Gaurdian. I am currently in the process of becoming successor Gaurdian. The court hearing date is set. I am just wanting to know if legal representation is necessary.

File both. The contempt should seek as a sanction that she return to Ohio. The court will not be happy that she left the jurisdiction.

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.
I live in Pa and her biological father lives in Ohio. I don't mind that he has filed for custody. I just want to make sure I can still see my granddaughter. Her mother is currently incarcerated in Florida.

If the case is in Ohio: So long as the parents were never married you can intervene and seek visitation rights.
Is a Power of Attorney the appropriate and ethical way to do this or is obtaining guardianship more appropriate?
answered on Jan 12, 2023
A properly signed Healthcare Power of Attorney grants you the right to place someone in a nursing home.
The person signing it granted you that power.
He was no longer competent my dad is his beneficiary to his will, my granny then made another will and is saying she gets all my papaws estate money & vehicles. Is my papaws will null and void now that she made another will for herself and my dad gets nothing?

You must have "testamentary capacity" to execute a will. Testamentary capacity means that your Papaw does:
1. Understand the nature of the business in which he is engaged;
2. Comprehend generally the nature and extent of the property which constitutes his estate;... Read more »

If there is a child support order then you do not need to file a complaint for parentage. You need to file a complaint for visitation or custody. You should file it in the county where the children reside.

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.

The prosecutor and judge said no contact with our children, can we still get supervised visitation through children services?
answered on Jan 5, 2023
If there is a no contact order arising out of a criminal case, or out a juvenile court case, children's services cannot override such an order and permit visitation because they would literally be facilitating a crime. It is against the law to violate a no contact order.
The child spends very little time with the non custodial parent. Does the IRS requirements to claim a dependent override what the court ordered
answered on Dec 28, 2022
No. However, if you go back to Court, then the Court will likely allocate the dependency exemption/ credit to you.
Both parties lived out of Ohio state as US citizens at the time of application but spouse listed a false former Lake County address on the application. Marriage ceremony took place in Lake County, OH. Provide Next Steps Please.

We cannot provide legal advice and guidance here. Ohio does not require residency to marry. Outsiders simply file for a marriage license in the county where the ceremony will take place. Using an old address means nothing. Also, there are no easy outs. An error in providing pedigree information... Read more »
