Wilson v. Montgomery - Custody Appeal Affirmed

The Ohio Court of Appeals, Tenth District, affirmed the trial court's judgment granting Kelly Moore's motion to intervene in a custody dispute and ordering genetic testing. Joyce Wilson, the maternal grandmother who had obtained custody after the children's mother died, argued the trial court lacked jurisdiction and that intervention was procedurally deficient. The appellate court rejected both arguments, holding that R.C. 3119.962 provides an alternative mechanism for rescinding paternity acknowledgments through genetic testing without the time restrictions in R.C. 3111.28.
