Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

Re: Custody battle ... what r my rites?

First of all there is no guarantee that the boyfriend will get custody of the child. He must show that you are an unfit mother. Just having more money is not enough to grant custody to one party or the other. Secondly, just because your divorce is pending or may be pending, does not necessarily mean that you will lose custody of the children. It must be shown that it is in the best interest of the children to change custody. As long as you do not fool around in front of the children and set a bad example or have the boyfriend move in you will not have fatally damaged your case. Good luck

Re: Custody battle ... what r my rites?

You are involved with a man who is abusive toward you. He is threatening you into doing what you may not think is right. You may be thinking that it is now a mistake to be having his child but you are concerned about the safety and welfare of your other children. While you should be concerned about your rights, but also need to be concerned about your personal welfare and that of your children. I suggest contacting a local women's shelter or church support group for responding to these threats also and also contact a local attorney or legal clinic.
