Court does not hold jurisdiction over spousal support and summons to appear filed.

Asked by a user in Canton, OH - over 2 years ago.

Cohabitation is not a black or white area. The more evidence that you can put forth of the alleged cohabitation, the more the court will be inclined to make such a finding. For instance, look at the mailing address, the address used for tax purposes and the address on file at the BMV of the alleged cohabitator. Also look to see if the cohabitator maintains a separate household. If not, cross-exam that person on all contributions made to your ex-spouse for living expenses.

Back support/arrears should continue at the same monthly rate until the obligation has been satisfied. If you need help determining back support or to compel CSEA to accomplish this, an attorney may assist you in this regard.

Can i file divorce or disolution myself if there are now shared assets or kids involved?

Asked by a user in Massillon, OH - over 2 years ago.

Whether there are many assets or very few assets, you can file for a dissolution of marriage if the parties agree upon terms. If the parties cannot agree upon terms, you can always file a divorce and represent yourself. With a long term marriage make sure you look into employment and social security benefits...

Can i get custody of my son whom i now have joint custody of switched to pysical custody and stop child support and not go to ct

Asked by a user in Mansfield, OH - about 3 years ago.

In Ohio you do not need to have physical custody of the child to modify child support if you have jooint custody or have a shared parenting plan. Under a joint custody/shared parenting plan you can request a modification of child support based upon the change of circumstance- in your case- now that you are the residential parent.

I have court tomorrow with the state asking me for permant custody of my son.

Asked by a user in Cortland, OH - over 2 years ago.

Perm. custody is considered the death penalty for parents by the Ohio Supreme Court. If the State makes any mistakes at all in the way they handled your matter and their attempt to reunify you with your child -you will prevail at the trial court level or on Appeal. If you sign a submission paper, you will be waiving your right to have a hearing and then appeal. Therefore, if you don't agree with perm custody, then attend the hearing and appeal if you lose. I certaintly cannot predict the...

Can I charge my husband for using my credit card?

Asked by a user in Ohio - over 2 years ago.

Call your credit card companies and cancel his use of the credit cards. Have the company issue a copy of all bills to your current address. You can file for a divorce and request that your spouse pay the balance on the credit cards. You, specifically, have a good argument that all card balances following the the separation should be paid by your spouse as separate debt, in that the separation date is the most equatible date to use for valuation purposes.
