Child Allienation

Alienation is usually proved by hiring an expert doctor who will interview the child and describe the alienation. However simply not letting you see the child (while petty and all to common) does not necessarily mean that alienation, after all a 12 month old is likely too young to understand what mom is doing. You need to get with a lawyer and simply file for an allocation of parental rights and responsibilities. Good luck to you.

What can i do if my ex girlfriend wont return calls that i place to her about the kids

Take her back to court. I would retain counsel for this process, because you are going to need them again and again to get through to someone like your ex. Remember this is a marathon not a sprint. Courts will seldom do anything on a single contempt other than order the other parent to comply. However, multiple contempts is often a basis to change custody. You want to be proactive and file the contempts for willful and significant violations, not for petty things.

I left my husband back in 2006, I have since moved on and had a daughter wth my boyfriend and pregnant again can I get a divorce

You have to meet the jurisdiction requirements but otherwise I haven't read anything to suggest that you would be unable to obtain a divorce. Talk to a family law attorney in your area because there will be issues with the paternity of your kids.

What are the chances of my not getting residential custody?

While you aren't actually denying him parenting time because it doesn't sound like there is an order for it, another of the custody factors takes into account which parent is more likely to facilitate court ordered parenting time. If I were his attorney I would argue that you lose big time this issue. Even the way you asked this question suggests that you need an attitude change. This may sound like a lecture but you seem to have a lot of the other factors going for you. Don't harm...

My son grandmother is trying to file for custody can she do that in ohio?

Yes. Is this just for a visit or are you trying to give custody away? As a parent, you can dictate who your son visits with. Now if she can show that Dad has issues that render him unfit to be around your son, and you're allowing this, the court might question your parenting skills. If you are looking to give up your son, the court could find him dependent, which gives the juvenile court the authority to place him elsewhere temporarily. There are ways to place your child with your dad if it...

Ohio child support question

It could affect your child support payments you receive. Generally if your husband is making less money than before he can file a motion to modify support payments downward. If he makes more money you can file to modify child support upward. Find out what percentage change is needed for your jurisdiction. In Franklin County the number is 10% but in Delaware County, you need to show a 30% change. I'm not sure what Hamilton County requires. If your husband voluntarily left his old job...

Can this go back to court?

Yes, that spouse should be taken back to court. The first spouse might also make a motion to have the second spouse get quotes to refinance to put the mortgage in the second spouse's name.

My ex husband is mad cause child support did a modification review

A 17 year old is going to live pretty much were she wants. How are you or him going to stop her from staying with either of you short of calling the cops on her. She will not require child support by may of next year. If he gets custody, yes you can be ordered to support your daughter. The hold is likely because a court case exists and the administrative agency is not going to waste its time doing an administrative modification when the court will have to determine custody and set support...

In Connecticut is it difficult to terminate my fatherly rights away if the child is 24 years old?

What do you mean by "terminate your fatherly rights.". Is your question really how can I get out of paying back child support? If that is it, Ohio does not have a statute allowing that unless the party to receive the support waives it. Otherwise, if your child is 24 than what right do you think you have? You are both adults and free to have whatever type of relationship with each other that you desire.

Separated for 10 months husband took kids to southern ohio without my permission can he take them??

Unless there is an order in effect from the Court having jurisdiction which states the parties rights with regard to the children, both parents have the same rights to the kids when they are married. Your husband did not do anything illegal; however, you getting your kids back from him and bringing them home, wouldn't be illegal either. If the kids are out of school; however, you should file an action for divorce in your county, serve your husband and request a hearing regarding the kids. I...
