Paulie,

Your ex would have the right to visitation, as long as it's in your daughter's best interests. It may be argued the moving out of state would interfere with this right. I would suggest that you consult a local attorney to find out about your rights and responsibilities in this situation.

What is the definition of cohabitation with a person who is not your spouse to disqualify alimony payments to you in Ohio?

Derrick,

I would take the matter up with your lawyer. The reason there are restrictions against getting a divorce while the woman is pregnant is so that child support can be ordered appropriately. Since the child is not yours and she has admitted this fact, it may not make any difference, but your lawyer can advise you about whether this information would have any repercussions for you.

My dissolution was done on 11/18/08. My ex announced to her work (where my mother also works) on 11/24 that she was pregnant by another man. She was very rushed to get our dissolution completed, which now makes sense because she is now engaged to be married to her "baby daddy". She knew she couldn't get the dissolution finalized in Ohio if she was pregnant so she lied under oath. Who should I contact to report her for lying to the judge, and what type of repercussions could it cause me?

Tim,

Even if you were to get a divorce before the baby is born, you would need to deal with issues surrounding paternity and child support after the fact. I can appreciate your feelings about no longer wanting to be responsible for a child that is not yours. You may want to discuss the possibility of a legal separation with your lawyer.

Here is a link to a couple of LTK articles with more information:

My wife and I have been separated since October 2007, We just finished bankruptcy and I am looking to proceed with the dissolution/divorce. She became pregnant in March of this year by another man. I visited with an attorney and was told by the that Ohio will not grant a divorce while she is pregnant, even though it is not mine, until after the pregnancy. I had a vasectomy in 2006, so it is definitley not mine and that can be easily proven. However she wants to drag her feet to stay on my health insurance to cover the pregnancy and birth. I do not wish to be financially responsile for a child that is not mine, now or after it's birth. Is there any way around this?

Hi Danielle,

You ex still has a legal responsibility to support his children. I would suggest that you discuss any possible plans you have to move out of state with your lawyer so this issue can be dealt with in your divorce judgment.

I want to file for divorce from my husband on grounds of neglect and abuse, i want to know, if in the state of ohio if i am granted full custody do i still have to have permission from my husband to move out of state> does whether or not he pays child support factor in?

Ashley,

In custody matters, the Court considers what is in the best interests of the child. You may not be able to move out of state permanently unless you get a court order. Your ex husband would be able to contest any removal petition you file.

You would likely need to show the Court that moving is in the best interests of the child and that your ex would still be able to have access to his son. Your lawyer will be able to advise you on the chances of winning your removal petition motion in your situation.

I have been moved out of my husbands house for a year now. We were seperated before that but I was unable to get an apartment before then. I finally got enough money to file for divorce. In the time I met someone not thinking I would, but my ex put me thru so much, cheating mental abuse... that compainionship was nice. We have grown real close, but he is only here for college and will be moving back. There is plenty of jobs for me where he lives where my son and I could have a better life. Well my soon to be ex is saying he will not let me leave the state and my lawyer pretty much sucks... I was just wondering what my chances were to be able to leave with him?

Kevin,

If you were not aware of your wife's mental illness prior to the marriage, that may be grounds for annulment. However, since you have had a child together, you may need to seek a divorce. A divorce attorney will be able to tell you how best to proceed.
