I was planning on appealing pro-se, since I have had so many issues with my lawyer, he just told me his opinion after our settlement conference when I asked him about it. Will it cost that much if I do it on my own? I have been going through the visitation case for the last year, and my fiance has only had to pay the lawyer $1500 (her tax return), and I believe I still have a few hundred dollars on the retainer. I don't know anything about child support court ...I have had five hearings over the visitation case with a sixth scheduled, and then I believe the seventh it will actually be set for trial because we could not come to an agreement in mediation. Is that a reasonable number of hearings to expect for support court as well?

I appreciate your comments, thank you for your help.

Do you know how to do an appeal? Do you know what legal issues you need to find? Do you know everything you need to do? What time limits?

I apologize for not responding more quickly, but with my surgery I have been away from the internet for awhile. I actually ended up filing an appeal at the court house and then two days later received my acceptance from disability. I'm so happy--I never thought it would come through! So I will take that paperwork to the hearing and I'm hoping that it's fairly easy from there. Additionally I started the application for the auxiliary benefits for my daughter and my ex said that she was approved, although she will not tell me the amount (I'm assuming I'll get paperwork regarding that?).

I have a new issue. We had court again today, and the magistrate did not show up. We were moved to someone new who changed nothing and simply set us for trial. A few hours later my ex blew up my phone because last week I emailed her teacher and asked for a copy of her report card and if it would be possible to have a parent teacher conference with her. Apparently my daughter's mother has told everyone at the school that I am not allowed to contact them without her permission and my daughter's permission (she's seven...that doesn't even make sense) and that the court told me that. This, surprise, is a big fat lie. Is there anything I can do? I thought of sending them ORC that states:

(1) Subject to division (F) of section 3319.321 of the Revised Code, when a court issues an order or decree allocating parental rights and responsibilities for the care of a child, the parent of the child who is not the residential parent of the child is entitled to access, under the same terms and conditions under which access is provided to the residential parent, to any student activity that is related to the child and to which the residential parent of the child legally is provided access, unless the court determines that it would not be in the best interest of the child to grant the parent who is not the residential parent access to the student activities under those same terms and conditions. If the court determines that the parent of the child who is not the residential parent should not have access to any student activity that is related to the child under the same terms and conditions as provided for the residential parent, the court shall specify the terms and conditions under which the parent who is not the residential parent is to have access to those student activities, shall enter its written findings of facts and opinion in the journal, and shall issue an order containing the terms and conditions to both the residential parent and the parent of the child who is not the residential parent. The court shall include in every order issued pursuant to this division notice that any school official or employee who knowingly fails to comply with the order or division (J) of this section is in contempt of court.

since there IS NO RULING regarding this. What do you guys think?

Also she cancels visitation whenever she feels like it and my lawyer said that we cannot file for contempt. I do not think this is right since there is a court order regarding my time.

Please help.

Get your point. Wouldn't go about it quite this way.

It's okay to cite the code, but you don't need the whole quote.

Legal parents should have access to their minor child's report card/academic progress, and you should be able to discuss it with the teacher.

IF teacher is too intimidated by Mom, then go up the food chain. Contact the principal. Then the superintendent of schools. At some point, someone will have enough experience to know that they should be following the law.
