Help! My Ex Will Not Give Me A Copy of My Child’s Insurance Card

August 19, 2014

OHIO FAMILY LAWYERAs strange as this may seem, this is a very common complaint.  In Ohio, the first question you have to ask is “Who is required to provide medical insurance for the child?”

If there are no court orders regarding parental rights of the child then the parent withholding the card is not doing anything legally wrong, but possibly not acting in their child’s best interest (depending on the circumstances).

CALL NOW at (614) 225-9316

If there are court orders requiring a parent to provide medical insurance for a child, and they are preventing the other parent from using that medical insurance, then they are preventing their child from receiving the benefit of the insurance, at least part of the time.  This would apply only if each parent has court ordered parenting time.   In this circumstance, the person should consider filing a motion for contempt.  However, in the circumstance where the order to provide support is through a CSEA order, and the other parent has no court ordered parenting time, then legally the child is never away from the parent with the insurance.

Can you sue for a broken heart?

September 27, 2013

Columbus Ohio Family LawyerVirginia Cornwell is an Ohio Family Lawyer and one of approximately 100 Ohio State Bar Association Certified Family Relations Specialist in Ohio.

Did you have a change of heart and leave your fiancé at the altar? If so, be glad that you are in Ohio where “heart balm actions” have been abolished.  In 1978 Ohio passed Ohio Revised Code 2305.29, also known as the Heart Balm Statute, which says that no person shall be liable for civil damages in the following types of cases:

  • breach of a promise to marry
  • alienation of affections
  • criminal conversation

CALL NOW  at (614) 225-9316

Later cases have generally found that the following types of actions are also abolished under the statute, at least when it relates to civil damages for a failed relationship or a person wronged in a relationship:

  • enticement
  • intentional infliction of emotional distress
  • fraud
  • negligence

CALL NOW  at (614) 225-9316

OHIO FAMILY LAWYER PATERNITY FATHERS RIGHTSAlthough some states will still allow heart balm actions, Ohio does not.  You cannot sue the person who stole your spouse away from you for money damages, and you cannot sue your spouse for money damages in a civil case for cheating on you.  Generally, you cannot successfully sue your fiancé for leaving you at the altar, even if you had already spent a lot of money on the wedding.

Be sure to also take a look at our article about returning the wedding ring after a broken engagement in Ohio.

If you have further questions, please call our office at 614-225-9316 to arrange a time to speak with a Family Lawyer.
