Custody/ Visitation
child custody attorney Ohio Nov 9, 2026
The mother of my Son is wanting to sign all rights over to me. location: is Union county Ohio, US based. My son was in her care for the first 8 Months of his life.We lived well over an hour between each other the entire time.Eventually she was arrested for Domestic Violence and assault and put in jail for a weekend. She’s known for mental illness, A bad temper, and “Selfish Behavior”. Alongside staying in a toxic/Violent relationship that persists to this day. My son was in a play pin on the ground, whilst they had a full blown altercation right near him!. A camera recorded the entire interaction. The police and courts of “Chillicothe OH” did not open a formal CPS case. Lasted perhaps a-few weeks, and no charges.When my son was Finally put into my care it was evident he was neglected. At around 8 1/2 months, he only laid on his back, no developmental milestones were reached at all….He was underweight, alongside no doctor visits. He couldn’t crawl, couldn’t seem to understand a spoon and or baby food…He has extra “little fingers” that were meant to be removed early on, she had never taken him.(suspected Drug an alcohol use contributed )Now she’s attempting to sign all rights over and is only concerned about child support as a problem.Ive had my son since July 26th, it is now Nov 9, he’s grown exponentially and hit milestone FAST. She hasn’t seen him once in the time I’ve had him nor communicated whatsoever in that time. Her mother insists that I and her sign a document to be notarized for the courts. We are in a pre trial hearing in which the judge wants a formal agreement (Supreme court Papers) ,Though its favors her daughter a great deal and is from a personal attorney’s office. I don’t feel that my son would be safe in anyway with her alone. Nor do I think she would bring in peace and harmony amongst visits as her temper and current relationship is chaotic. The advice I’m seeking is what should i do in this situation? I feel hopeless with the court system considering the frequent favoritism for the mother.
