Yes, however it could be viewed as a sign of Parental Alienation Syndrome. which the child may not realize they have as a primary parent can be very good as manipulating how they think about the other parent.
yea
The age of majority in Ohio is 18. Under that age, if there is a dispute of custody during a divorce, a judge will determine who the child lives with. Of course, the judge can take into consideration a child's preference.
It may be illegal for a judge to remove from a child from the parent's custody without a legal case. There are loopholes in the law, and unfortunately child protective services is an area where this happens all too often.
no you have to stay with the parent that has custody
Normally a child is not brought to court when a custody case is being heard. The judge speaks to the child separately, and usually on another day.. see my profile
Yes. The legal custody of a minor can only be affected or changed by a court order.
You pay child support until the judge says you do not have to pay.
You must file for legal custody of the child. If the judge sees the mother unfit then custody battle will most likely be won.
If she is found to be unfit or addicted to drugs she could lose custody. Additionally, if she refuses to give the father visitation the judge could find her in contempt and change custody to the father.
A child does not need to be abandoned by their mother for a father to be awarded full custody. If the father can demonstrate before a judge that the mother is unfit to parent, the judge can award him full custody of the child.
If custody has not yet been decided by the court the child can express his wishes but the judge is not required to follow them and the judge will make the final decision.If custody has not yet been decided by the court the child can express his wishes but the judge is not required to follow them and the judge will make the final decision.If custody has not yet been decided by the court the child can express his wishes but the judge is not required to follow them and the judge will make the final decision.If custody has not yet been decided by the court the child can express his wishes but the judge is not required to follow them and the judge will make the final decision.

most likely he will lose his rights til the judge decides what is best for the child.
I assume that the "ex-boyfriend" is also the father of the child. If you believe that he lied to gain custody, you can file a motion/petition for a custody re-hearing and be prepared to demonstrate that he lied, and that you are a 'fit' mother to have custody of the child.

Yes.
The child cannot make that choice. A parent needs to file a challenge, during which a GAL will present the child's view to the judge. Or, arrangement for the child to speak to the judge in private. The judge determines the child maturity, and related factor, in a custody change. see links
That's up to the judge. see link
