Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio
Let me rephrase my previous question: My husband was divorced in March '09. His ex wife was awarded items from a list that she had written and presented to the court. We were awarded some and she was awarded most. However, some of those items we were unable to find. We made a list that had each item she was awarded. A column for the item, a column for if found, a column if not found, and a column for her to initial she picked up the item. At the bottom was a place for her to sign as items received. She signed and dated it. Now she has filed a contempt suit saying he is in contempt for not providing the items we can't find. Can he be held in contempt for this? Wouldn't she have the burden of proof that when she left in 2007, that she didn't take this with her? He has a very important job and can't afford to be jailed for these little 2.00 items she is claiming. Does he have anything to worry about?
