Re: my son

Any criminal charges would have to be filed in the State where the attack took place.

It would be a good idea for you to file for an emergency order of custody here in Ohio to keep the father from accusing you of interfering with his custody.

You should talk directly to an attorney who does divorce work in your county and get some accurate advice based on all of the facts.

Good Luck!
