yes you can. i got a divorce while i was pregnant (oh yea... i live in Ohio!). Ohio is a no-fault state, meaning you don't have to prove someone "screwed you over" to obtain a divorce. in other words, as long as both parties agree, you can get divorced!

Ohio does not allow the emancipation of minors. To be emancipated, you would have to join one of the armed forces or marry. To avoid school, you could take the GED.

Yes, you can divorce a pregnant wife in Texas. The laws don't mention pregnancy at all.

Honey, that is a very specific question! I'm not sure if you're going to find someone who has here. \nIf you are unlucky, try joining a discussion group online about marriage in ohio. People who are married may have either used it for their own or been there to celebrate someone elses.\nTry this website:\nhttp://groups.google.com.au/group/Columbus-Ohio?lnk=gschg&hl=en

the probate court in your town/county should have information on marriage licenses and the requirements.\n\nwe needed photo IDs....but that's in ohio.  and if you were married before you need proof of either a spouse's death (if widowed) or divorce papers.  some state require blood tests and have waiting periods.

well in my state when a couple separates one or the other can go to the court house file for temporary custody and the first one of you to do that gets temporary custody . so honey get to the court house before your hubby does.

Submit a copy of your federal tax return (the one where you filed as married).  This is a legal document with both your signatures on it.  It is illegal to lie on your taxes.  Also find out what the Ohio rules for common law marriage are, some states are very strict and some states aren't.\n\nContact an attorney who specializes in workplace disputes, they can probably find you the right resources also.\n\nAlso check out Ohio Law Chapter 3105.12 it defines the Evidence of Marriage (in the divorce section).  It has specific rules that you must meet in order for the common law marriage of another state to be recognized in their (Ohio) court system.

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.

Do you have a job and means to support yourself?\nEither way, I don't believe that Ohio has an emancipation law. Thus, neither a minor nor the minor's parent is able to file a petition for emancipation.  From what I have read, a minor can achieve independence from a parent in two ways in the State of Ohio:  (1) Lawful marriage; or (2)Successful enlistment in any branch of the Armed Forces.\nHowever, in the event of divorce or annulment, or discharge from the Armed Forces before the age of 18, custody of the minor will automatically revert to the parent who previously had custody over the minor.\nYou cannot just become emancipated because you don't like your parents or the place that your family moved to.  Can't you find a way to make the best of things for 15 more months?  Being on your own is not what you think it will be~you might want to think about any decision seriously.  If you are only wanting to emancipate yourself because of where you live~well, it sounds you like you are still very young.

I believe the laws vary in different states.  I do recall reading about a 'would be" dad who fought the abortion his girlfriend was going to have and recall reading about another case where the "would be dad" fought the adoption the mother had planned immediately after birth.  In this case, the father won.  He had not been informed about the pregnancy at all.

You should check with the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services, or contact the human resources department of a business to best find the answer to this question.

Actually u can get a divorce with out the other person knowin it. It's always put in the paper for 3wks or so for that other person to be able to come forward. But it's prob best you go ahead and file anyway that way u know for sure.

you will probably have to check your contract, but under most circumstances, the employer can restrict somebody who is pregnant if there are hazardous working conditions.  This is to protect the employer from being sued later on down the road, especially since those cases would fall outside of negligence, meaning they would have to pay a whole lot more than simple workers comp.  I suggest looking at your contract and referring to the Family and Medical Leave Act.

Nope. I am from Ohio and a friend of mine tried to get his fiance on his insurance and was not allowed until they were married. You have to be married to be able to be inclued on your partners insurance.

I think I understand you correctly, but I'm not sure.  You knocked her up, & now you want to make her miscarry?  If that's the case, I don't know what to tell you.  If a woman doesn't want to carry the kid, she can abort it.  If she doesn't want to abort it, but neither of you want to be saddled with that responsibility, she can put it up for adoption.  However, if you don't want to be stuck with it, you're essentially screwed.  You have no legal recourse to make her get rid of a baby.  Don't feel obligated to get married because she might be pregnant, though.  Oldest trick in the book.  You should stop having sex with her now, & insist on a paternity test.  Then, if she has the kid, & proves it is yours, the courts will make you take responsibility for the kid & pay child support without having to marry her.  Then, if you want visitation, you could go to court & set up a schedule, but otherwise, you can let her raise the child as she sees fit, & fulfill your financial obligation.  But first, make sure she is pregnant, & make sure it is your kid.  Never marry some girl because she says she's pregnant.  This may come as a shock, but she could be lying to you.  People do lie, & women have lied about being pregnant to get a husband for a long time.  Don't allow yourself to be forced into something you aren't ready for & don't want to do.  Pay for your mistake, if you truly made it, but don't put the kid through having a dad at home who resents the hell out of its mom for trapping him in a marriage he didn't want.  Just send the checks.  If you marry her without the paternity test, or send payments without proof it is yours, the law where you are may say you're screwed anyway because you took responsibility for the kid.  Tread carefully, & good luck.

Your husband will have to pay you 17% of his income as child support and may have to pay you maintenance depending on his income.  In fact, he may even have to pay for your divorce attorney.  And you can get all of this at the very beginning of the divorce and not have to wait years for the support to start.\n\nYou need to talk to a matrimonial attorney and get some facts so that you can make a decision.
