Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

Domestic Temporary Restraining Order

1 1/2 years after filing and still in temporary order period, my wife was granted a temporary restraining order restraining access to all my accounts. Besides being what I feel is over-reaching I am 55 and presently umemployed and have no way to live without access to at least checking (and by the way my checking are individual and one is out-state). I want to challenge this order, but as this is a temporary order I cannot goto Appellate Court and a Rule 60(B) Relief from Judgement motion is not appropriate for same reason. Do I have options?

Re: Domestic Temporary Restraining Order

If you have an attorney, ask him or her what your options are. Generally speaking, any order by the judge can be reconsidered. There can be agreements with your spouse or her attorney that allow for release of the accounts.

Based on the fact that the divorce is still pending after 1 1/2 years, I would guess that you and your wife are fighting about something! Maybe it is time to come to an agreement-negotiate on some point to get the accounts released?

Again, if you have an attorney, talk to the attorney about this issue and ask for some suggestions.

If you do not have an attorney and want to discuss this in some detail, feel free to give me a call. No charge or obligation for the confidential call.

Good Luck!
