|
| ## The Story Behind This Model |
|
|
| In 1997, a father in Dayton, Ohio became one of the first men in the state to be legally "defathered." A DNA test proved he wasn't the biological father, but the court had no way to stop a child support order — not even for DNA. His case helped create Ohio's paternity fraud protections. |
|
|
| Then, in 2019, it happened again. A son. Years fighting to establish paternity. Years of being kept away. The same broken system. |
|
|
| Same father. Different county, different system — Hamilton County's bifurcated court forced him to learn an entirely new process from scratch. Same impossible choice: hire a lawyer at $5,000 — or represent yourself in a system designed for attorneys. |
|
|
| He chose to fight. No lawyer. Just statutes, sleepless nights, and a father who refused to lose another child to a broken system. |
|
|
| **This model is the result.** Every question he couldn't answer at 2 AM, every filing deadline he almost missed, every legal term nobody bothered to explain — it's all in here. So no parent ever has to go through that alone again. |

|
| ## What This Model Does |
|
|
| ProSe-Ohio is fine-tuned on **13,400+ Q&A pairs** covering all 12 steps of an Ohio family court case: |
|
|
| | Step | Topic | Coverage | |
| |------|-------|----------| |
| | 1 | Parental rights & triggers | Constitutional rights, ORC §3109 | |
| | 2 | Getting served / responding | Deadlines, forms, jurisdiction | |
| | 3 | Can't afford a lawyer | Fee waivers, legal aid, law libraries | |
| | 4 | Filing motions | Format, drafting, service of process | |
| | 5 | Building evidence | Best interest factors (9 current, 26 under SB174) | |
| | 6 | Discovery | Subpoenas, interrogatories, depositions | |
| | 7 | GAL involvement | Cooperation, challenges, Sup.R. 48 | |
| | 8 | Courtroom preparation | Procedure, objections, cross-examination | |
| | 9 | Adverse rulings | Magistrate objections (14-day deadline!), appeals | |
| | 10 | Order enforcement | Contempt motions, documentation | |
| | 11 | Modifications | Change of circumstances, relocation | |
| | 12 | Post-case | Co-parenting, record keeping | |
|
|
| ### How It Responds |
|
|
| - **Defines every legal term** in parentheses when first used |
| - **Cites specific Ohio law** — ORC sections, Civil Rules, local rules |
| - **Gives step-by-step instructions** with deadlines and forms |
| - **Assumes zero legal knowledge** — plain English throughout |
| - **Warns when you need a real lawyer** — honest about limitations |

| ## The Council of Agents (Coming Soon) |
|
|
| ProSe AI isn't just one model — it's a **council** simulating every person you'll face in court: |
|
|
| | Agent | Role | |
| |-------|------| |
| | **Legal Guide** | Your main advisor through all 12 steps | |
| | **Magistrate Simulator** | Asks the hard questions the judge will ask | |
| | **Opposing Counsel** | Cross-examines you to find weaknesses | |
| | **GAL Simulator** | Evaluates your focus on the child | |
| | **Custody Investigator** | Simulates the home study interview | |
| | **Psychologist** | Assesses attachment and parenting capacity | |
| | **Witness Coach** | Prepares your testimony for pressure | |
|
|
| **You walk into court having already faced every scenario.** Most pro se litigants walk in blind. |

|
| ## Why Now: SB174 |
|
|
| Ohio is passing its biggest family law reform in 25 years. [Senate Bill 174](https://www.legislature.ohio.gov/legislation/136/sb174) eliminates "custodial parent" labels, expands best interest factors from 9 to 26, and maximizes parenting time. ProSe AI is built to help parents understand both current law AND what's coming. |
