This sounds like your neices are in big trouble.   Have you thought about just circumventing the failing system.  Go to their mother and ask her to let you have them to take care of.   She can still claim them as hers for food stamps, income tax, etc.   You get the kids.  She gets the money and benefits from claiming them.  They are safe with you.  Make sure this is a VERBAL Agreement!   At some point go to a lawyer and get a custody agreement so you would be a guardian of the children.

I am not familiar with the Child Support Enforcement laws in Ohio, but apart from criminal solutions (which is what the prosecutor will be doing) you may look to some civil solutions.  You should look to modify your divorce/custody agreement to reflect our current situation.  I am not sure about your particular area, but if you dont have legal represetation at the current time you really need to get it.  As a victim of abuse, depending on your income level, you may be eligible for free representation from a Legal Services facility in your area. You should be able to find their number in the yellow pages or by running an internet search for "Legal Services" in your area. As for child support, it depends on whether he is simply not paying, or whether he is not working.  If he is to go to jail, this will provide the state with an opportunity to organize and hopefully enter a judgment whereby his wages can be garnished.  You really need to get legal representation if you do not have it already.

The family court is not known for its speed.  I would contact the Ohio State Bar Association (attorney) and request for referral to family/custody specialist.  Interview them and find out their success rate in getting you custody and the reality of your situation.

Ohio Statute 3121.03 provides ways in which one can collect child support.  For example, 3121.03(A) states that money earned at a job can be withheld in order to satisfy the support requirement. \nI don't see anything in 3121.03 that deals with laws against visitation.  Please give me some more information in what you are referring to.

Follow court orders or you will risk losing your children.  Contact the court and request for a hearing before the judge.

of course.  as long as you don't do anything that would constitute a threat to any of the children, including your own\n\njust tell the principal he's got 2 minutes to have your child come down to the office or you're calling the police and a lawyer.\n\nyou could also go look for your child but then they could say you're a danger and call the cops on you.  good luck getting your kid back then.

What would *I* do?  I'd take the kids somewhere safe (and our bags, because we're leaving at this point), be sure to p*ss him off real good when he comes home, have an all-out brawl in the living room, and after I've made my point, go to a good shelter.\nIf you're in this situation, and you wonder what I think YOU should do...  I think you should get in touch with your local police station, any churches, social services, etc., and find out how to contact your local womens' shelter.  Call them, and ask if they have room for you and the kids.  If they don't, get a list of other places nearby (we have 5 or so within 2 hours of here), and call them too.  If they do, only pack what you will need, and the childrens' favorites, and get gone.  Don't worry about food and clothes and toiletries if you're in a particular hurry, because they have TONS of that stuff donated all the time, and it's in storage.  If there's something you need that they don't have, they'll get it (like special formula for babies, etc.)\n\nI've stayed in a shelter like this.  They're great.  If you need to get out, do it.  Before he kills you, or he drives you crazy enough to kill him.

As in you want to release someone from support obligations or you feel its' time you stopped paying child support?\n\nThe answer to your question is probably going to be "court order".\n\nIn any event I'd recommend contacting your county courthouse and requesting the information from an authority.\n\nBest of Luck,\nArmus

call the police and have them do a welfare check on grandma and the kids. Tell them the situation and have them report back to you. good luck to you.

It depends if Children Services has an open case on her. If they do and she takes the child they can get her for kidnapping.

No, it will not be kidnapping,unless there is a court order that states that he has custody, but if you want to move, you need to do it right away.  I live in Texas, and you have to live here for 6 months to establish residency before you can file for divorce and custody.  You can file in any county the children reside in.  Just as an added note- if this man is hostile- in Texas it IS legal to record telephone conversations without the other person knowing about it.  This should be helpful to you, since you say he is hostile, yu can definitely get him on tape saying mean things to you, and you can use that in court.  Hope this helps. You do not need his permission to leave where you are, you can go where ever you want with the children. Would probably be best to file a restraining order, or order of protection against him as soon as you get to Texas.  This is a legal and temporary way to keep him from being hostile towards you, and if he tries to take the children from you.  It can be done in a few minuted by a Justic of the Peace.  But, you do not need to waste any time, and move as quickly as possible!

He can file a complaint with social services and if they decide the child isn't being cared for the child can be taken away.  But simply taking the child from you and putting it in foster care, NO.

Go to the website for ODJFS (Ohio Department of Job and Family Services). They will either have information there for you or you can download the rules for daycare providers and the first section of those rules (if I'm remembering correctly) will tell you what steps to take and what requirements you have to meet. Good luck!

it depends on the state but where i live you have to turn the child over until the courts say that you don't have too. Make sure you write every encounter (seeing the other parent, phone calls etc.) down and keep track of how the kid is and take pictures
