You can file to modify the terms of the suit affecting the parent child relationship any time and you need only show that the circumstances have materially and substantially changed.

The decree of divorce can put you in control of the children's passports. The decree can be registered with the state department if out of country travel is barred. He can be required to pay child support and assets and liens can be established and set aside to make sure that child support is paid. You should go ahead and file for divorce and get restraining orders if you are fearful he take the children or dispose of assets before the divorce is finalized.

In Ohio there are three ways to cancel a marriage: Divorce, Dissolution, Annulment. Annulment requires the element of fraud, which may be the case. Dissolution requires both parties to agree on all of the terms of the final separation. Divorce is a contested process where parties disagree about children, assets or debts. You cannot just sign a paper and cancel the marriage. You must avail your self of one of the processes. Please see a family law attorney for assistance before you proceed to end the marriage.
