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 »

They will preferentially be placed with a willing relative who is not unfit, and failing that, with willing fit foster parents
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.

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.
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 »

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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.
