Non-residential ParentThe parent or parents who do not live with the child(ren), but who have a duty of financial support for the child(ren). Question: in the state of OHIO does a child over 13 have to go with there non-residential parent? Question: ohio 13 yr old wishes to live with non-residential parent? Question: Can a non-residential parent get custody of a YOUNG child that protests going to the residential parents home? My 3 yr old stepson has thrown fits about going to his mom's house since he was literally an infant. She DOES neglect him and this has been witnessed firsthand by most of her family members, who said they would vouch for us while in court if we want custody. First off,her family has been begging her for YEARS to get a mental evaluation-she has all symptoms of bipolar disorder, yet refuses to get one because she's afraid she will lose the child. Second, she has had her mother, who is a RN, get PRESCRIPTION medication for him from her work for what she "thinks" is wrong with the child on SEVERAL occasions. These prescription meds DO NOT have the child's name on them ANYWHERE, but they DO have an RX # on them.Lastly, she does VERY innapropriate things in front of the child (he has been making his stuffed animals perform oral sex on him, very realistically, since he was about 2yrs old, moving their heads up and down on his privates!).There is PLENTY more to tell-does any1 think its enough?
I have contacted CPS when the neglect began-and they sent her a letter in the mail-nothing else! She then submitted it to her lawyer as evidence that I was "harassing" her and refused to sign their divorce papers for 10 months over it!
During the divorce, my husband (then he was just my boyfriend, of course) asked his lawyer if there was ANY way to get custody-he told him absolutely not unless she's a crackhead or beating him and leaving bruises!
The lawyer said that in Ohio, it is virtually impossible to get a child from their mother-no matter WHAT the situation!
I have ALSO contacted the Board of Nursing about her mother-with NO responses! E-mail AND calls! She STILL has her job!
That was just the tip of the iceburg! He also talks about how he has a big "wanker" all the time (his mom must have taught him that, too!) and is allowed to say every curse word imaginable at his mom's house-which is totally NOT ok when he's here! Also, just the other day, he was being mean and yelling at his daddy-so I asked him why he was being mean to daddy...his reply? "Because my mommy said so!"..I can't even begin to tell you everything this psycho has done, it would take FOREVER! My point is, even after ALL of these instances piling up day by day, we are still being told that there's no way to get custody of him until he's like 11 or 12 and can tell a judge what his mom does to him and in front of him! WHICH he already does NOW! But we're still told he's too young to believe! We are at our wit's end with the whole situation! Question: How do you stop a non-residential parent from brainwashing your child? I dropped my son off on Friday for his weekend with his father. On Sunday I called because my ex was late bringing him home. My ex told me he was going to make our son tell me something, and that our son did not want to tell me. Several hours after I dropped off our son a bump appeared on his forehead. After asking our son over and over again what happened, our son said his step-brother threw a playing card at him when he was home. Common sense would have told you too many hours had lapsed for a playing card to make a bump. He is only 7, and clearly he did not know what caused the bump. The bump was not there when I dropped him off. By Sunday our son was worked up over telling me what happened because his father lead him to believe I would be mad at him. After talking with our son, he said his dad kept asking him over and over what happened, and he would be beside him when our son told me so I wouldn't get mad. How do I stop this, I don't want our son to believe I'm unapproachable Question: In standard visitation laws, can the non-residential parent send anyone to pick up the child from res.parent? I'm wondering if my son's father is not available to pick up our son on time for his visitation time, is it legal for him to send his girlfriend to pick up my son? Also, during my son's father's visitation time, if father is going away for the weekend, does he have the right to leave my son with his family instead of just leaving him at home with me? If someone has experience with this and knows the general answer, that would be great. I know laws are different in different states, and counties, but still would like your feedback. Question: does non-residential separated parent have to provide a bedroom for our girls in NY ? My ex would like to make certain of the legality of providing bedrooms to our girls. His girlfriend and he share a one bedroom apartment where she also has visitation rights to her daughter- not custody. Question: Do you have to pay non-residential college fee if one of your parent is living in that state? Question: Ohio law for non-residential parents? I am trying to find the number or code somewhere in the Ohio law that states that the Non-residential parent has access to school records and activities...the New Lexington school is stating that since my step-sons father has no parental rights established in court (they didn't need any)that he doesn't have access to his sons records, yet we get mail regarding grades and delinquincy...and so forth...I know I have read it somewhere that the Non-residential parent has the right to records but I can't find it...help..Anyone know where I can find a copy on the net or location, or number of what it was? The reason that visitation was not established is that they (parents) are in agreement for visits and the court matter has never come up...we don't want visitation information, just rights to his school records...any help? Question: Non-residential supervision? When the residential parent will be gone overnight regardless of the age of the child(ren), the non-residential parent shall be afforded the
opportunity to exercise overnight parenting time.
This is wording from the standard parenting order. My question is similar, assuming the following scenario:
The child is staying with the non-residential parent each weekend. The non-residential parent is remarried and in a relationship with his spouse for an extended period of time (3+ years). The non-residential parent goes out of town for the weekend. The non-residential parent informed the residential parent 7 days in advance that the non-residential parent would be going out of town overnight, coinciding with time with the child. The non-residential parent also informed the residential parent of the non-residential parent’s intent for the child to spend that time at the non-residential parent’s home under the supervision of the non-residential parent’s spouse.
1. In this instance, is it stated that the residential parent shall be afforded the opportunity to exercise overnight parenting time? In other words, if the non-residential parent has obligations that affect their ability to performed the supervision, does that mean that the child goes back to residential parent?
2. Does the court or law have a perspective on the situation described above or similar situation as it relates to step-parents and their ability to perform the supervision in lei of the non-residential parent? Question: How could a teenager "responsibly" get across reasons to live with one parent without bashing the other? This isn't in a state where you can decide at a certain age, but how to convince the court? The would-be non-residential parent always thought of the other as being irresponsible, but that isn't true. Any advice???? Question: Feel like a babysitter instead of a parent? I am a divorced mother of two sons, ages 8 and 10 and although I have a good relationship with them I feel more like their babysitter than their parent. I am the non-residential or part-time parent so I only see them every other weekend and every wednesday evening. I would really like to spend more time with them but thats not possible without going back to court. Do other "part-time" parents feel this way too? Any ideas? Question: How old do you have to be to refuse visitation in michigan? I am forced by my non-residential parent to visit him. But my mother who is my residential parent does not support me whenever i want to change this.
So at what age can you just basically say no?
I'm old enough and responsible enough to drive a car so why cant i decide where i want to be?
Im 16 and am forced to go to my dads house, how do i get out of going there? Question: POLL: What do you know about enforcement of court ordered access or visitation rights? When the non-custodial (Possessory Conservator, separate, non-residential, etc.) parent is being denied their court ordered visitation rights, what actions must they take to get them enforced?
What expenses are related to getting this achieved?
This relates to the public view and general knowledge on this. Question: Can a stepmom blog about her step kids? I am the stepmom to 2 girls. My husband is the biological father and non-residential parent. The biological mom has been reading my blog and has now demanded that I NOT mention one word about "her children" and remove all mention of them and photos. I'm basically supposed to act like they don't exist.
1. I use nicknames for the children: "Miss T" and "Miss S". I only name my biological son sometimes or my husband.
2. Nothing negative is posted about the girls.
3. No details are given about us -- where we live [other than the state], what school they attend, our last name, etc. If a predator was trying to find us, they'd have a VERY hard time [and the bio mom has NEVER mentioned this, so that isn't even her concern].
Get right down to it -- this is all about control on her part. She's obsessed with her "mom" status and implies I'm a glorified babysitter.
So, can she LEGALLY prevent me from talking about my step kids? She's now threatening legal action. Help! Question: Can someone define "school age"? I live in Ohio and my daughter is 5 and in preschool. I want to take her out of state for vacation for a few weeks, but local laws state that "school age children" can only be taken by the non-residential parent for multiple weeks of vacation in the summer months. I want to take her within the next couple of weeks, but the local magistrate says that my daughter is "school age" because she is in preschool. Ohio Revised Code makes a definite distinction between the two. Am I being cheated? Question: plz help this is what my ex wants me to sign? CUSTODY AGREEMENT

My commission expires: Question: Is or isn't this contempt of court? (Assuming the parties cannot resolve it)? Local rule states that if the non residential parent's visit is cancelled by the residential parent due to illness of the child then the time is to be made up starting with the next weekend that the residential parent was supposed to have the child. The time is to be made up in full no matter how many weekends the residential parent has to forfeit.
Note that nothing in there says that the time is ever forfeit to the non residential parent. It is only forfeit if the non residential parent cancelled their own visit.
Would it be contempt if the residential parent cancelled a visit (giving only a couple hours notice) and then refused to make it up since the non residential parent could not make up the visit that following weekend due to a work schedule that could not be changed? (Keep in mind that the cancelled visit was a Wednesday (from 3 on Wed to 3 on Thurs) and the residential parent expected the visit to be made up that Friday.)
JP: We'd never make the child feel bad! Come on it isn't her fault!! She's only 4.
Ouragon: Really? It's stupid to argue about the enforcement of a parenting plan so that each parent gets their allotted time with the child? Gee, my bad for caring about spending time with her. I'll tell my husband he shouldn't get so worked up about building a relationship with his daughter since according to YOU it's stupid... Question: Does this qualify as contempt of court if an agreement cannot be reached? Local rule states that if the non residential parent's visit is cancelled by the residential parent due to illness of the child then the time is to be made up starting with the next weekend that the residential parent was supposed to have the child. The time is to be made up in full no matter how many weekends the residential parent has to forfeit.

(Keep in mind that the cancelled visit was a Wednesday (from 3 on Wed to 3 on Thurs) and the residential parent expected the visit to be made up that Friday.)
The parenting plan itself does not allow for any cancellations at all. This is local rule that I was summing up. Both orders, though, state that the parties are to make agreements in the face of extenuating circumstances. There was no agreement, the residential parent simply cancelled the visit. Question: Denial of Visitation? My ex and I have joint custody. He has residential custody. He has grounded our son multiple times and each time our son is grounded, I am denied visitation. He claims that the child is using a visit with me (the non-residential parent) to avoid punishment. I don't believe my ex can ground my child from me. Do I have a legal leg to stand on? Suggestions/help apprecited.
We have a court order that sets out specific times. However, because our son is almost 17 years old and has wanted to hang out more with friends, the schedule has just been whenever it's convenient for everyone. Although my ex and I cannot stand one another, this has not proved a problem in the past.
As to why he was grounded, he cut gym class and went to the band room to do some work to prepare for an upcoming concert. Clearly he should not have cut class, but I don't think it's reasonable to ground him from his mother. Question: Would BIRD NESTING be a better form of child custody? One of the primary objections to Joint Physical Custody is the children having to be shifted from one house to the other on a weekly, monthly, or bi-annual basis. Instead of the children shifting, how about the parents shifting. Granted, this will only work in cases where all the children are from the same mother and father, which is on a rapid decline, but in those cases, the children could live in one home and each parent lives with them for four weeks, than switch. For the off time, the non-residential parent has visitation rights. As for where they live, they could rent a room, or stay with relatives or friends.
This creates the least amount of disruption for the current children. They stay in their own bedrooms/schools, and keep the same friends. There will be limitations on the parents. Each covers the costs created while in the home, and provides support when out, where there is a significant difference in earnings between the parents.
Basic bills, such as rent/house payment, utilities, phone, cable, etc. can be paid by a bank trust fund that would automatically draw the money out of the accounts of the parents.
No adult overnight guests while in the home, no getting remarried, except to the other parent, and no producing any more children, until the first ones are grown. Violation results in automatic forfeiture of custody rights, and a change to simple visitation schedule.
