Q. I am the defendant in an ex parte emergency motion for temporary allocation of parental rights and responsibilities.

August 10, 2022

A: In Ohio, filing Motions for Ex Parte Emergency child custody orders varies county to county. They are not permitted in all counties and if they are permitted parties must meet the applicable legal standard to receive such an order. When an Ex Parte Motion is granted the court is required to hold a hearing generally within 10 days to allow the other party a chance to argue why the order should not stand. When the request for order is denied the party who was denied the motion is also entitled to a hearing within the statutory timeline. An emergency Ex Parte custody order can be granted initially without the other's party's appearance. However, it may not be extended if the emergency is disproved or rendered a nonemergency matter at the scheduled hearing.

A: When there is already an Ohio court order in place for the children to live in Ohio and the non residential parent removes the children from the state it can take many difficult steps to have them returned. There is no clear path on getting the children returned to the state as every state is different in how custody disputes are handled. Every state must however give full faith and credit to court orders of another state and enforce another state's court orders in their jurisdiction upon proper registration and notice to the affected party. The residential parent can try to appear in the other state and contact the local police for assistance in getting the children, the residential parent can hire an attorney in the other state to register the Ohio court order in the other state and request the court in the other state to enforce the court order including a finding of contempt and order for the local police to assist in turning over the minor children. It is advised to contact an attorney in the state where the other parent is located in order to discuss obtaining jurisdiction over the non residential parent to enforce the Ohio court order.
