What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? OHIO
SO, my daughter's father has never been a rule-following man. ( WE were never married, and I had her at 18). He has been in and out of trouble for his entire life (he is currently 32), his parents have bailed him out and chosen to turn a blind eye to what he was doing. Recently he was arrested for charges of Engaging in a Pattern of Corrupt activity(selling heroin), he was living in his parents' house. He ha d court ordered visitaion every other weekend, in the summer etc.(he did not pay child support as he was trying to get Social Security for an injury) Anyhow he is facing a long time in prison for what he has done. She has told me she will be taking me to court so that they can have my daughter every other weekend and through the summer etc. I have never told her that she could not see my daughter. I do not want to go through a long drawn out fight with her. especially since I have allowed her to go to their house since he has been in jail. They have stated that they think they should have her just as much as I do. I allow her to go there on weekends to stay but not every ohter weekend all the time because we make plans, she has sports, etc... Can anyone tell me if I am wrong to let her see my daughter, and if a court will force me to allow her to go every other weekend, during the summer etc...
