Hi - My name is Jerry and I'm new to this group - I'm a divorced father of 5 children (4 with ex-wife and 1 with live-in fiance). I have a few problems that I need help with. I welcome ANY and ALL suggestions, comments or legal reference in response to my questions.
#1) I am a divorced father who lives in Ohio (Ex-wife and mother of 4 kids lives in King George County, Virgnia). I have sole custody of my 4 children. Recently after a visit to their mom, 2 of the children have announced they wish to live with her permanently.
HERE'S THE SITUATION: I was told by MY attorney that exwife/mom has to find an atty who is licensed IN OHIO and Medina County, and then must FILE a motion for custody of those 2 children. However, she states that SHE was told all that needs to be done is for ME, Custodial Parent, to sign a paper and have it notarized, stating that she is to have custody of those 2 children. She states she does NOT have to come to Ohio, nor does she have to have a lawyer, nor does she have to file ANYthing.
COMMENTS? OPINIONS? LEGAL REFERENCE?????
#2) My ex and I used to agree on visitation, but recently she has become "difficult" ... to the degree where police had to be involved this past weekend in order to CONVINCE her to bring the children back from their visit with her. Therefore, I am implementing my rights per my divorce decree of using the LONG DISTANCE PARENTING SCHEDULE. Can someone/anyone tell me where I can get a copy of this schedule as pertains to Medina County, Ohio?
#3) I've read some of the posts on this site, and I've seen it mentioned about 3rd party interference. I am engaged to be married to a woman who has lived with me and my children for 3 years. She is a stay-at-home mom to our daughter together and also to my 4 sons from my previous marriage. Would she be considered a 3rd party since she is NOT my wife yet? Also, would she still be considered a 3rd party IF we WERE married and was labeled my children's Stepmother?
Thanks, everyone, for reading all of this. Any help is greatly appreciated! I have a lawyer, but he is always so busy, and we go to him as part of a legal plan I pay for through my work, so my consults with him are free, and I always feel rushed... that's why I'm on here asking the questions.
Again - thanks... and have a nice night.
