Get a certified copy of your shared parenting decree with the shared parenting plan attached and take it to the school. The plan should specify that both parents have a right to your child's school records. Even if the plan doesn't explicitly specify that each of you have these rights, Ohio law gives this right to all parents. Your shared parenting decree will also specify that you are the mother and the girl friend is not. You should insist that they correct their records and that you be given...

Unless you have joint expenses that you are both paying, it probably does not make sense for you and your husband maintaining a joint account while you are living separately. You might consider to agreeing to divide the balance equally and then closing the account. You should then open an account in your own name. You should, however, make sure that all automatic deductions from that account are stopped before the account is closed.

If you file to divorce your husband, you will need to ask for custody of your children. The court will consider the best interests of the children when determining which parent to award custody to. An important factor in determining custody is which parent provides better care, including health care, to the children. If the court were convinced that your husband's other child's health condition, such as being a carrier of lice, jeopardizes your children, then the court might very require that...

If you are the custodial parent, you may drop the second name; however, for official purposes, it may be necessary for you to apply to Probate Court to change his name. For example, if you apply for a passport for your son, the State Department would require that his name on the passport match his birth certificate. By applying for a name change, you would be allowed to use the name as it reads on the court order approving the name change.

If your shared parenting decree was issued by an Ohio court, then your former wife does not have custody, you both do. I suspect that her residence has been designated as the one which determines which school district your son attends. Thus, she would be informally referred to as the "school district parent." Your options are to file for a modification of the shared parenting plan and request a parenting schedule that gives you the majority of the time and changes your son's school district...

In Ohio,when a baby is born to a mother who is still married, there is a presumption that the husband is the father. However, when the mother completes the information for the child's birth certificate, she can list the other man as the father. Signing the birth certificate does not prove who the father is. Assuming you eventually divorce, the divorce court would determine that the child is not your husband's. The real father also has the right to file a paternity complaint in juvenile court....
You can apply to the Probate Court to change your daughter's name. The father will have to be given notice of the proceeding and will be given an opportunity to appear at a hearing and object or agree. If he appears and refuses to consent, the court will decide whether it is in the best interests of your daughter to change her name. This will depend on a variety of factors, including whether the father has contact with her. If he objects to the name change, you should probably be represented by...
