    I am in Ohio, have a 16 year old daughter that met a 19 year old second-year college student on World of Warcraft & have begun to have internet relationship. I am divorced, father lives 3 hours away, still in Ohio. The 19 year old showed up at my ex's home in July during his visitation (Surprise Visit!). My ex husband is promoting & encouraging the relationship. He drove my daughter to see this guy in Chicago during one of his weekend visitations, without my consent. Ex had an attorney write me a letter that I would be in contempt of court if I try to block his visitation. We are seeing a Psychologist. I want this relationship to end, my ex encourages it. What is the law?

    The law is what the law is in Ohio regarding statutory rape. I doubt that your custody agreement covers who she can or can't see according to what each parent thinks. But this will open a huge can of worms that I would not open except as a last resort. You could have a runaway daughter, for starters. Talk to daughter, husband, therapist, lawyer, maybe police for general questions, not people online so much, except for support.

    Please answer a legal question with the law. "The law is what the law is ..." does not help here.

    If you are asking about dating there is no issue. If you are asking about having sex, it's a different story BUT the age of consent in Ohio is 16.

    OP is already seeing a Psychologist - apparently she, the daughter, the ex are.

    This is not a Police matter. No law is being broken. The daughter follows the mother's rules in the mother's house and the father's rules in the father's house. If mother feels the child is being put in jeopardy or danger, then she goes BACK to Court, presents her evidence and gets an Order that the daughter either cannot leave the State (solves only that part of the problem), cannot visit with the father (which will never happen) or something else (which I can't possibly foresee).

    This type of disagreement happens all the time with divorced parents but unless the child is in danger at the non-custodial parent's house the Court will not intervene.
