It is concerning child custody, investigations are based in part to find out if sole, part, joint, or special arrangment custody will be awarded parents.

Well I believe you can...My mother was in the same situation as you...In the divorce papers it stated my father is to pay my mother for life...but he stopped....anyway she spoke to a lawyer and they told her if it was court ordered he has to...all she has to do is take the papers to the DA and it will all be taken care of... he will be surprised shortly...but I'm not to positive about retirement or SS, but I do know she is entitled to them...So if it was court ordered your should be able to get it...

Things like this happen all the time rest assured you are not alone. although i am well aware this will not ease your plight.\n\nThe residence of a child is a political battle. Ideally what needs to be done is that the welfare of the child is placed paramount. Then a decision can be made. Highly litigated cases can often be extremely damaging for a child. \n\nI vaguely remember a story about two women fighting over a baby and someone said he would settle it by a tug of war, once this was started the woman who loved the child more couldn't bare to hurt it and gave up instantly. Sometimes loosing your side of the battle is most beneficial to the child.\n\nIf you are sure that this is not the case, then you could appeal but this should not be taken lightly.\n\nYour question is hidden behind much impenetrable anger, if there was more factual information including the Countries in which the child, mother and father reside, more information could potentially be given in return.

No. Legally, you are responsible for him/her. Your only real course of actions would be to try and get relief of custody from the state.

Obviously things weren't as perfect as you thought they were.  Your parent's divorce is between THEM.  Not you and them.  They have things they have to straighten out and you have nothing to do with the divorce itself.  When they get to the child custody/support phase then you will be able to have your say.  You don't get to make the choices concerning  your parent's marriage though.

You could be, but as the previous poster said, most likely the officials in Ohio won't want to spend the money to get you back for anything minor.  If it had anything to do with a crime against a child though it could be different.\n\nMy advice ... get it taken care of, accept responsibility, do whatever you have to do to make amends, so you don't have to worry about it.

I need to know what area of child custody law you are seeking in both states.

Call your local court to find out if that is even possible.

They're talking about a decision by a Michigan appeals court that limited visitation by a divorced father using a cohabiation law. See details at:

In Ohio, it's 100% to the wife.  You would need your kids to be down as contingency beneficiaries.

I don't know where you live but I live in Ontario Canada and I had custody of my children. The reason being that I requested the court to appoint the children their own lawyer, it did and because our chidren have rights here they choose to be with me. The childrens female lawyer and my female lawyer fought my ex's femail lawyer and what it all boiled down to was the childrens right to be with the parent they wanted to be with. If a child has the capability of choosing then the courts will or at least should listen to them. I did have a male lawyer but because my ex wife had a female lawyer my lawyer recomended that I have a female lawyer fight for me and for the kids. I won custody and my ex had to pay me support for the raising of the children. More and more fathers are getting custody now cause here there finding out that the mothers do not stay at home with the children as much as they first thought. Aparently the fathers do stay home and do spend more time with their children when they have custody. Don't give up your fight and good luck

He may need a lawyer to file the request for visitation. That would have been taken care of in divorce court. He has rights and the court needs to know the situation to guarantee his rights are ordered and enforcable. If the mother is unfit and the father cares about his children, it would be morally wrong for him not to remedy the situation.

I live in Georgia and am a man. My ex wife is abusively controlling. After our divorce she turned into super mom. Having to control every tiny thing about the children to the point of obsession. My son wants to be with me and my attorney says the judges have to consider a request at 12, strongly consider at 13, and no choice but accept the request at 14. Unless the request isnt in the best interest of the child, ie... the requested parent is a crimminal or drug addict etc...

absolutely not.  Custody is determined by whomever can take the best, most proper care of a child, and the child's best interest.  Someone living in a mansion who is dealing drugs could lose custody to someone living in an efficiency apartment.  He will need to prove that his daughter is currently in an unsafe enviornment and that he can provide a better one.  Not always easy to do, as the courts generally favor the birth mother.

YES.  You can ask the courts for just about anything.  Good luck.

The first guy is right.  I mean everything depends on your personal custody arrangement, but as a general rule you cannot move out of state or, like the 1st guy said, anywhere that will alter the current visitation arrangement.\n\nHOWEVER, if you have sole custody and the father does not regularly visit the child, I would challenge him to take you to court over it.  If he is not an active part in the child's life, he won't get to put his foot down and interfere with your life just to be a jerk.  So if that is the case, the answer will be yes, you can.  The court won't stop you.
