Hello Shane, I understand your situation. In Ohio, you may find legal help at a reduced cost or even free from certain organizations. Look into Ohio legal aid services or pro bono attorneys who might be able to assist you with your case.
i have a question. if you are suppose to get your child every other weekend. and if there is * weeks in a month, am i only suppose to get my daughter * weekend out of that month
Hello Shane, the "every other weekend" usually means you get the child for the 1st, 3rd, and 5th weekends if a month has five weekends. This may vary depending on your specific custody agreement. Please consult your agreement or an attorney for precise information.
ok thank you, cause my court documents states every other weekend but she only lets me have her * weekend out of those * week months
If your court agreement specifies every other weekend and your ex is not following this, it's a violation. You may:
- Document these violations.
- File a motion for contempt in court.
- Consult a legal aid service.
Remember, only a court can modify custody agreements.
