When your ex stopped seeing the children is when you should have gotten full custody of the children. It depends on the judge. Some judges believe it's important to have both mother and father involved with their children. Here are a couple of things you could do: 1. Go to a lawyer and file for full custody 2. If you wife is a good woman, then consider joint custody. She could have the children on certain holidays, on their summer vacations from school. Since you have had the children for 2 years it will be difficult for the children to adjust as far as traveling to see their mother. If they are old enough to understand ask them how they feel about it. Too often parents are so embittered in their own relationships they forget that kids have feeling too. Good luck Marcy Obviously the mother is not a good mother if she hasn't seen the children. I have full custody of my 2 children and live in Ohio also. so I can tell you a little bit about the Ohio court system. My lawyer told me that usually if you are the first to fill for full custody....95% of the time you will get it. ....especially since she left 2 years ago.....that makes it very hard for her even if she has filed already.( My ex has not seen her children for over two years also ....I have had them for 7 yrs. and in that time she has seen them less than a total of a week.). The courts will move in your favor....but you need to act fast before she does....Also pursue child support....but don't expect them to do too much....my ex owes me over $10,000 in back support....she has been to court twice before about it...both times she just gets a slap on the wrist....I have given them her address and phone number and....yet it is as if they won't do anything because she is a woman....so move quickly.....

Can a mother get in trouble for seeing her children against fathers wishes?

Yes. If there is no court order the father has no legal right to keep the children from their mother. If the parents were never married the mother has custody until the father has established his paternity legally through a court action. If married, both parents have equal parental rights.


Can your wife stop you from seeing your children prior to a divorce?

Not if the father is doing his fatherly duties for the children, and causing the children no harm or pain. But if he is then yes, also if she sees the father unfit and suspects harm is being done in which case it should be taken to court.


Can a father get custody after not seeing his child after a year in the state of Missouri?

Not if the mother still have custody. He better have a good explanation to tell the judge why he has not seen his child for a year. If he has a good reason they would probably start with visitation. Full custody he can not get unless the mother is unfit.

What should you do if your wife wants out of the marriage and she is cheating but won't leave the home and you have 2 kids?

I am so sorry to hear about your problems. The best thing to do is go to a lawyer and he'll get her out of there. You can charge her with being an "unfit mother" or get her out in other legal ways. This is certainly not good for the children. With luck, seeing the lawyer, you and your wife can come to some agreement on custody. If you fear she will have strange men around your children you can still allow her to have custody, but with a guardian there so your children are protected. It's not wise, no matter what the problems between the both of you to separate mother and children or vice-versa. Good luck Marcy


Can a mother keep the baby from the father without going to court?

Generally, if the parents are unmarried, the mother has sole custody until the father establishes his paternity legally. Until then she can refuse visitation. However, when the father's paternity has been established he can request custody and/or a visitation schedule. He will also need to pay child support if the mother retains physical custody.A married mother cannot keep the child from the father without a court order to that effect.


Does a mother have a choice not to let the father see his child?

Not if the person has a court ordered custody agreement. If no visitation/custody order is in place, it is at the discretion of the person who has custody of the child.


If you died would your son be taken away from his step father and step brother and returned to his biological father seeing as legally he is not my husband's baby or does marriage bring rights?

Marriage by itself does not bring custody rights to non-biological children. Where the children go when the biological mother dies depends on who has custody, whether the non-biological father has adopted the child, whether the biological father wants the child, and on the laws of the state where all of this is happening.


Can you stop your mother from seeing your children?
