Emergency Custody Motion Response

Summary

In Ohio, if emergency custody due to child abuse allegations is found unsubstantiated, the court may dismiss the motion without a trial. However, the court may review evidence and hear brief arguments before making a final decision. Even if the child alleged abuse, the court requires substantial evidence to proceed with custody changes. Courts generally rely on evidence presented by the parties involved rather than conducting their own independent investigations. You can request that evidence, such as a forensic audio tape, be presented in court. If you believe there is significant evidence to support your case, you should respond to the defendants motion to dismiss. It is advisable to file separate responses for different motions and requests to ensure clarity.
