Out of state divorse and what to do.?
My boyfriend is a resident of Ohio. His wife left 6 months ago . He was not aware that she had left to Louisiana a week prior of him coming home from his job on a tugboat. She told him she was moving back to LA and she took everything. He then found out she drained the account, didnt pay the mortgage on the home(which he lost) and she wrote a bunch of bad checks. He wants a divorse and he wants to see their 9 year old son. He has been a resident of Ohio for almost 3 yrs so can he file here? He has recieved no paperwork for child support yet she is recieving welfare help for their son...Please let us know what to do. When the divorse is final, is there also a wait time?
They were married in Lousiana 12 yrs ago which is why we question in where to file. He is considered a residence in Ohio though.

Why not file in the states of Ohio? If his ex agreed to sign the paper it make things so much easier. He can just file online and pay small fee to court the. Get divorce. Since she took everything there is nothing should fight over the money house etc. the only problems I see here is the custody, if she has the full custody she drain out his pay check and dig all th money she things she deserve. Divorce is not problem when both party both agree certain things before sign the paper the problems are the rest of stuff. Since he doesn't have to deal with her about Daviding properties only he needs to do is check Ohio custody and child support law. Good luck

Why would you get involved with someone who is not even divorced (and divorced for at least two years)? This is his problem, and you are making it yours. That is a very rocky road to go down. He doesn't sound like very good boyfriend material either (doesn't monitor his bank accounts, doesn't pay attention to whether the mortage is being paid and then loses his house). Do not take on his responsibilities, as the emotional burden will overtake you. He needs to get a backbone and find out what he needs to do. Doesn't sound too mature, to me.
