Can Your Parents Forbid You to Date Somebody
My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Ohio
(I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum, i'm not sure what it falls under)
I'm dating an 18 year old, I'm currently 17, so there isn't an issue there, however my parents are divorced, my father thinks me dating him is illegal, which is just stupid, so when I visit with my mother I also visit him. My father seems to believe that if he goes to visit me at my mothers house and I'm not there, then the sheriff will go look for me, and they find me at my boyfriends house (which is somewhere he doesn't want me to be, he also has full custody), and when the sheriff finds me there he will then arrest my boyfriend and my boyfriend will be charged with kidnapping and statutory rape.

If dad has custody and dad has forbidden the two of you to be together, he can attempt to have charges pressed against your boyfriend. If you really love your BF, do you want him to have a criminal or arrest record?

Kidnapping, no. Statutory rape? No. The age of consent in OH is 16. Interference with parental custody? Yep, possible. Contributing to the delinquency of a minor? Yep, possible. Seeking to have mom's visitation taken away, reduced, or made supervised, since you seem to be doing things OTHER than visiting mom? Yep, possible.

Sorry, but I didn't see a question.

It was implied. Can I visit and Schtupp my BF, when I am supposed to be at moms, without him getting charged.

Except that the Sheriff won't go looking for the child at all...so its all moot.
Mom's allowed to let the child spend time with others on her time, even if dad actually does have "full" custody.
