Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

divorce

I was divorced in 1989 in Ohio, over 18 years ago, there are today serious child support issues. My divorce decree was not signed by myself or my ex. It was signed by my attorney and the judge. In addition there is NO signed separation agreement as well as no signed shared parenting agreement on file. What are the legalities of this, as well, was my presence at the divorce hearing considered legally binding as to what the decree contained, even though that document was not orally reviewed at the hearing? if so where can I find this legislation as well, as the legislation supposing complete knowledge and accepting of responsibility for what the divorce decree contains. the assumption of the law that I knew or should have known.

Re: divorce

The first question anyone would ask is whether your respective attorneys acted in good faith on your behalfs. The next question would be why dispute the terms of the agreements nearly two decades after the fact. If you are facing arrearage problems, you can contact your CSEA agency to see what is on file regard your case. If you want to know exactly how the procedure went, request a copy of your case file from the court. The file will document how the case was handled procedurally on the day of your divorce.
