What is the name of your state? Ohio My husband's ex was awarded alimony. There wasn't anything specific in the papers that mentioned cohabitation, but alimony is to continue until she remarries, dies, or until 11/2007. From what I understand, cohabitation in Ohio (if proved) is automatic...

What is the name of your state? Ohio My husband had to split his 401K with his ex. The judge specified that "during the marriage" was from the date they were married until the date of trial (April 29th 2004). The QDRO states that the funds were divided using the Sept. 23, 2004 (the date the...

What is the name of your state? Ohio I am posting this question for some friends of mine. Jim was married to a woman (quite a while ago) for only 4 years. He was ordered to pay alimony, and at the time, the court did not maintain jurisdiction to modify or cancel the alimony (I don't think its...

What is the name of your state? This happened in North Carolina, but Ohio is state of residency. Some people I know had their kids taken away. I think this is funky, but would like opinions... He was in the Air Force, and they were living in military housing. Apparently, the home was filthy at...

What is the name of your state? Ohio I don't get it. I thought there was supposed to be a separation of Church and State. I just looked up the Secretary of State's website. It said that whomever performs the service of marriage must be "in good standing" with an affiliated church. So--why does...

What is the name of your state? Ohio I have a few questions for an upcoming court date next month. My fiance filed for contempt because his ex took ALL marital property and all his personal property (including tools) from the residence. It was supposed to be divided by lottery. He had the...

An adult capable of making the decision to purchase one... Not a kid with a reasonable expectation of finding something harmful in his kids' meal... But I know what you mean. Thanks!! Sky

What is the name of your state? Ohio Last night, we ordered food from Taco Bell for carryout. When we got home, we gave the kids their kids meals and all sat down to eat. Our 8 year old pulls out a flourescent pink BOXCUTTER. At first, it looked like a toy. He pulled the clear sheath back to...

Need more info.... What exactly does the ordinance say?

Here's the deal...He's trying to hurt ME thru HER, and in the process--he's just hurting her. Sticks and stones, ya know. She is seeing a therapist for guidance on this. Its not fair for me to even try to dispute these issues with her. I figure she's better off to hear it from someone else...

No---it sounds to me like you are carrying a little guilt. I have no room for hate or ill-will. I'm just too busy (and happily so) to harbor such useless and destructive feelings. The way you posted sounded to me like another dad that was upset about having to support his child. For whatever...

Here's my opinion--for what its worth. You pay CS to your sis for your son, right? She pays for him to have a roof over his head, gas and electric to keep him warm and out of the dark, food for his body, clothes for his back--these are just the basics. Then, she pays for gas to get him back...

Where I live, the Auditor's office has online (searchable) records. The mortgage company is listed as well. Might want to try that online... Or--since his name is still on the mortgage, he should be allowed to inquire about it with the previous mortgage company. Good Luck.

Sorry... I wish I knew what the law was on this too. Same thing happened to my best friend. Now my b/f has overpaid child support--several thousand dollars worth--and he'll be lucky to get anything back. They say they owe him back $600, but in reality--they've held out 4 more months worth...

Please Listen to everyone! Look...I've been there. I've done that. And I got the T-shirt. You are allowing this animal to set examples for your children. It will not get better, it will only get worse. Drop him like a hot potato and get away as fast as you can. Remember: HE WILL CHANGE. FOR...
