My question involves criminal law for the state of: Ohio
I am 24 and my fiance is 17.. for the past year her parents have allowed us to talk on the cell phone that I bought her. they allowed this because of the circumstances in which we met..
yesterday her father informed her that he didn't want her to talk to me anymore and that he thought that after a year one of us would leave the other, but we didn't so he had to step in.
To me this isn't fair. I have done nothing wrong, I have talked several times to her mom on the phone and I don't think it is right that you let people get close for a year to pull this..
he took her cell and I got her another. I will not stop talking to her and basically I just want advice on things.. I don't see how he could do anything considering he allowed it for a year. I know AOC is 16 in ohio but are there any options we may have to get around this stupidity on her fathers part.
thanks

Wait another year and she will be at the age of majority. Then she can move out, support herself, and talk to anyone she wants.

thanks for the quick reply.. while typically I would agree and if we hadn't been talking over a year id see your point.. but her parents allowed us to get very close and now change there mind.. there is no waiting a year because we are already together fr a yea because of her parents. if they ddnt want us to be together they shouldn't have allowed it in the first place.

there is no waiting a year

Yes, yes there is. Her parents said No, and their rules? Law in that house. Push hard enough, and they can get a restraining order. Violate that, and you can go to jail.

If you can't wait, then maybe she's not the girl for you and you should find an adult who can do as she pleases.

There exists no law that will allow you contact with a minor against said minors parents wishes! End story

There is NOTHING in the law that is going to force the parents of a minor child to allow her to see or talk to someone they do not want her to see. Doesn't matter if they initially allowed it; doesn't matter if you think it is stupid.

She is a minor. They are her parents. They are God. What they say goes.

The law is not on your side here. You have NO rights under the law to see her; she has NO rights under the law to see you. And by see, I mean communicate in any way, shape or form including phone, fax, Fedex, UPS, DHL, IM, text message, cell phone, friends carrying messages back and forth, telegraph, smoke signals, carrier pigeons, or dream walking.

I will not stop talking to her

Then plan on going to jail.
