Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

Re: domestic violence

First of all you can ask that she not be on your property. That, however, will not be the end of it. The next suggestion would be to file domestic violence cahrges against her. Threatening to do harm is sufficient for domestic violence charges through the domestic relations court. If she continues to harass you then the police will put her in jail for the evening. That should put an end to her antics

Re: domestic violence

Well, well well. You got a problem, but there are plenty of solutions. First, you have every right to not have your daughter-in-law at your house, its called trespassing. It is your house after all. This can be accomplished with a telephone call to the police. However, before doing so, your son needs to consider where this separation is going. By this, is it going to lead to divorce or reconcilation. If it is going to lead to a divorce, then you and your son need to start preparing for what very well may be an ugly divorce. In Ohio, you are able to record any telephone or in person conversation you with have with anyone. This includes your daughter in law so long as you are a party to the conversation. You may want to consder recording her behavior on the telephone and in person so that when you are eventually in front of a judge, you will have the proof to show what a mean person your daughter-in-law is. With respect to the telephone calls, please contact your prosecutor about telephone harrassment charges. However, remember that you may want to get some evidence on tape first. Feel free to call me any other questions.
