FMLA and Common Law Marrige in Ohio?
930862
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.

FMLA only applies to companies with 50 or more employees within a certain mile radius so you may not even be eligible. You also get time off with your position preserved for you, but no pay while you are on leave :-( You may however, appeal the denial of your claim and win. Most cases that go to hearing resolve in favor of the claimant,not the insurance, although adjusters may not necessarily want you to know that. I strongly suggest getting a worker's compensation attorney to represent you. You have many many rights and payments are pretty hard to deny, particularly with a diagnosis from your doctor which carries more weight than one from one of their hired MDs (independent medical examiners(IME) )although often times adjusters will and people give up without a fight thinking that the laws are in favor of the insurance. They are not. I worked for the insurances, and specifically worker's compensation,hence I am truly not steering you wrong. You need an attorney to deal with these people though. They are aggressive, don't want to pay, and you need a lawyer that will be equally  aggresive on your behalf. Many of these attorneys can be found under disability law in your phone  book.  Fight for your money! If you do, you are likely to get it :-)Best of luck

There is usually some type of legal protection for "Common Law" marriages, which are people who live together for many years without marriage.  You will probably have to get a lawyer to help you, though.

The federal government considers it income so yes to federal taxes.  I'm not sure if your specific state does or not.  Ohio considers alimony income.

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.

They have until December 7th to be compliant. I know the Ohio Department of Health is handling this law.

I'm sorry to hear about your husbands upcoming surgery.  The family medical leave act allows you to take up to 3 months off for sickness of your own or families.  If you have accrued vacation time that would be paid.  The leave isn't paid under the family leave.  That's a hard place to be in, I was in that situation myself.  I would ask friends for ideas and help.  Maybe they can organize a dinner fundraiser or your church could help.  Maybe they have some sort of fund where they will pay your bills for awhile.  Another resource would be your public assistance office, I'm not saying you'd get public assistance but they could help direct you to other resources to help.

I had a friend injured while engaged in a work related situation, and she went from regular employee to Worker's Comp.  If your husband has been turned into Worker's Comp, it's a different type of classification. They do have Worker's Comp attorneys and you might want to consult with one to determine your situation.

Ohio Revised Code 3109 should be what you are seeking.  Best of luck.

It sounds like your story has more to it than what is presented. I hope that you were not filing a FMLA claim, in an attempt to avoid being fired. Many people commit FMLA abuse by filing a FMLA intermittent leave, to avoid being fired or merely quitting. This is illegal!

dba_greg is right, but even if you become common law partners, have a lawyer write up a will. Especially if you live in a red state. "Some People" think common law rights are open to interpretation.  Do either of you have immediate family members who disagree with your lifestyle?  Then, make SURE your partner is legally protected!

The Fair Practices Employment Board can help you.  The laws are different in each state, and sometimes local laws.  \n\nMy husband was laid off while he was on vacation.  He came back from our trip, went to work, and found out he didn't work there anymore.\n\nWe are still trying to find out how to get the retirement benefits he earned!!

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.
