Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio
I have been residential and school placement parent of my two minor children. last November my ex husband filed for soul custody of our children. Our case is still open and he passed away a few weeks ago. His attorney has not filed anything in regards to his death. What should be filed to close this case and modify the parenting papers naming me legal custodian and having full custody? I am also concerned that his mother will try to retain his attorney for rights to my childrens surviorship benefits. Is this possible?

Thanks and have a great day.
With the children's father gone, the custody matter would be dismissed upon motion to the court. The survivorship benefit are another matter. I suggest you consult with an attorney if you haven't already done so.
