Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

Am I stuck here?

I was divorced in Lorain County on July of 2002. At the time I was living in Texas with my three children. I have since relocated back to the state of Ohio, with hopes that my new husband will be able to secure work here. At this point it is not looking good. I have custody of the 3 children and it's stated in the divorce document their father is referred to as a companion, not a shared parenting agreement. I called the courthouse and explained the situation, they informed me that I would have to file a notice of intent to relocate. Unfortunately my ex will not sign, their is no point of even asking. But I do remember the clerk telling me about it being shared parenting, but no where is it listing those words. I need help desparately. The 17 years of my marriage my spouse was abusive to me and my 3 children. I would hate to think he still has some sort of control. I do not want this to turn into a lengthy legal battle, I just want to know if I can take them back home to Texas, where they are happier.

Re: Am I stuck here?

It is necessary that your divorce documents be reviewed in order to provide you with the information sought in your e-mail. Generally, you would be required to file a notice to relocate and a motion to modify visitation. The Court would then set the matter for a full hearing.
