In the beginning of my husband's battle with his ex, (they were never married) he was told that when he signed the birth certificate, that that established paternity. We also live in Ohio. My advice would be to file for joint custody. That is exactly what my husband did. He was paying support...

Very well put Beth! I think that it was the "redneck" comment in the OP that did this gal in.

Not yet. My husband has temporary custody right now. We have another court date coming up to make it permanant (god willing). As soon as that is over......oh yeah.....there's gonna be a brewhaha goin on! Not around the children of course, but there are some things that need to be said. Of...

Why would you be worried about the NCP having access to school records? What harm could they do? I dont know leagally what you could do, but I would think if you were concerned, you could explain things to the school and ask that if NCP asked for information of schedules a conference that you...

Whenever my step-sons talk to their mom, they come back with a million questions. My youngest wanted to know why he cant live with him mom. I explained to him that there were alot of things that his mom had to fix. She had alot of things going on right now and she had to fix everything before...

Similar situation My husband and I are in a very similar situation. When my husband got custody of his 2 boys....5 and 7.....the mom told the youngest to hate his father's guts. She keeps promising them that she will get them back. The youngest is convinced that it will happen. I expalin to...

I have complete sympothy for your situation. My husband just went through the same thing. He got temporary custody of his 2 boys last month. The boys were living in a very similar situation. The 6 year old was not going to school because mom didnt want to get them up and take them after her...

Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What?????? Can you possibly be serious???? Try explaining that one to the kids. "Sorry honey....dad would like to stay and see your play...but mom dosnt want your SM here and since we rode here together...I have to go. The judge said so." Give me a break! While your at it...why dont you...

And....do you really think that taking a child away from her mother....life that she has known for the 3 years of her life, is really what is in the best interest of the child so that she can have the best clothes and shoes that money can buy? I do believe that if the OP was as worried about...

IMO....you need to get off your high horse. Just because you dont agree with mom's lifestyle, dosnt make it wrong or harmful to the child. Just because mom may like to kick back once in awhile, have a beer and a hamburger on the BBQ, or maybe a little bull riding dosnt make it a bad...

Question? Is the therapy for the children court ordered? If so, have the children been discharged from the therapists care? If it is court ordered, and she is refusing to take the children, she could be found in contempt for that. And just on a personal note, when I was 14, I decided that I...

I would believe that you would have to go through the court to establish some kind of visitation schedule. You could then bring up the issue of her moving out of state. In some cases, espesially if it were a shared parenting plan, you would be able to make it that she has to stay in this...

He did not owe welfare arrears, the mother does. He technically did not owe her arrears either. In November of last year, they were dropped when the shared parenting plan was established. The judge did not get them signed until February of this year, so child support didnt know about the...

What is the name of your state? OH I'll try to make this as short as possible. Back in November of 2004, my husband went to court and recieved shared parenting. In the agreement, his child support was cut in half and his arrers were dropped. In February of this year, he went back to court and...
