[OH] Can I evict my abusive spouse before divorce?

Hello, I have a friend in Ohio who is going through a separation. No divorce paperwork has been filed yet. His wife had previously moved out into an apartment that he is paying for, but has since moved back into the house and is engaging in regular conflict with him and the kids. What is the best way to handle getting her out of the house so she doesn’t cause issues during the divorce? Would it be better to do that along with the divorce paperwork somehow? Or is seeking a no-contact order or restraining order more likely to be successful? Custody issues are also a concern. He doesn’t want to jeopardize custody in the process.

[OH] Can I be fired for reporting safety concerns?

I was recently fired from a job for leaving a negative review of my company on their page. The reason behind the review was because I’ve had multiple meetings — 3 or more — with the owner and the GM of the company about another employee’s safety and driving while I was in the truck with him. I told them very seriously, multiple times, that I did not want to ride with him anymore and that he was a safety risk to my life. He did something so bad that I felt the need to write the review because I felt unsafe at work and unable to talk to my bosses anymore about it. Am I able to sue for wrongful termination or unsafe working environment or anything?
