We filed for contempt of court as well as change of parental rights/custody at the same time. We thought the hearing would be about the more serious issue at hand which is the contempt of court charge; but the paperwork we received in the mail doesn't reflect that - only the motion to change...

I had planned on going that route once I put together my "plan of attack". However, an unexpected source on funds showed up. Now I'm ready to "rumble". Also, I wanted to be fully prepared. I didn't just want to show up at the hearing crying "Unfair....unfair! She's not playing nice!!!" I want...

Yes...of course I called. In the county I live in, it costs $250 to "reopen a case" (as the clerk put it). Fortunately, that fee will cover ALL actions after the case is reopened including reevaluations and contempt of court motions. As far as I have found, there is no "waiver" per se. One can...

As I said earlier, finances have been an issue. With no money, there can be no filing. Perhaps you haven't experienced such a state, but without cash, the courts won't even consider a motion.

I have a few questions and hope that I can get some answers or an idea of what I'm looking at. I live in Ohio as does my son's mom and right now I am unaware of his whereabouts since she picked him up for her visitation - we only have her P.O. Box # and that was with much prodding that I...

The papers don't say much, just that we will work together for our son's well-being. Back then, she had always been cooperative and always tried to do what was best for him. The papers say that any written, and signed agreement will be bindable (?) as long as it doesn't violate Ohio law, and...

Have edited and rewritten below.

I live in Ohio. I have both joint legal and joint physical custody of my 13 year old son with my exwife. Since our divorce two years ago, we have alternated residency every week (I pick him up from his mom's on Sunday at 7pm and she picks him up from my house the next Sunday at 7pm). At the...
