It depends upon the issue. Generally, a judge may rule on an issue approximately 28 days after a motion was filed. Some issues, especially complicated ones, may take up to six months to decide. At the same time, the Ohio Supreme Court has recently reprimanded a judge for taking too long to decide issues. I would consult with a local attorney on your matter.
