Ohio § 3127.41

§ 3127.41.

(A) Upon the filing of a petition seeking enforcement of a child custody determination,

the petitioner may file a verified application for the issuance of a warrant to take

physical custody of the child if the child is imminently likely to suffer serious

physical harm or be removed from this state. (B) If the court, upon the testimony of the petitioner or another witness, finds that

the child is imminently likely to suffer serious physical harm or be removed from

this state, it may issue a warrant to take physical custody of the child.  If possible, the court shall hear the petition on the next judicial day after the

warrant is executed.  If it is impossible to hold a hearing on that date, the court shall hold the hearing

on the first judicial day possible.  The application for the warrant shall include the statements required by division (B) of section 3127.38 of the Revised Code . (C) A warrant to take physical custody of a child shall do all of the following: (1) Specify the facts upon which a conclusion of imminent serious physical harm or removal

from the jurisdiction is based; (2) Direct law enforcement officers to take physical custody of the child immediately; (3) Provide for the placement of the child pending final relief. (D) The respondent shall be served with the petition, warrant, and order immediately

after the child is taken into physical custody. (E) A warrant to take physical custody of a child is enforceable throughout this state.  If the court finds on the basis of the testimony of the petitioner or another witness

that a less intrusive remedy is not effective, it may authorize law enforcement officers

to enter private property to take physical custody of the child.  If required by exigent circumstances of the case, the court may authorize law enforcement

officers to make a forcible entry at any hour. (F) The court may impose conditions upon the placement of a child to ensure the appearance

of the child and the child's custodian.
