Child Custody in Ohio: Know the Law
To effectively protect your parental rights, it is critically important that you understand the rules, regulations, and procedures that govern your case. Only when you know how the law works can you build the right strategy to get your desired custody/visitation outcome. Under Ohio state law (Ohio Revised Code § 3109.04), all custody and visitation issues are resolved using the best interests of the child standard. A Franklin County, OH court must figure out what is best for a child’s health, emotional well-being, and overall social development. A wide array of factors can be considered, including:
- The current state of the relationship between the parents;
- The demonstrated parenting ability;
- The willingness of each side to cooperate with each other;
- Each parent’s ability to prove the child’s a stable environment; and
- Any history of abuse, neglect, or parental unreliability.
Ohio law presumptively favors shared custody and an ongoing relationship between the child(ren) and both parents. In other words, courts want to find a resolution that ensures that the parents are actively involved in a child’s life. Notably, a parent who enters the custody & visitation process with a demonstrated willingness to cooperate with another party is looked upon more favorably by courts. It is also important to emphasize that Franklin County, OH courts can and will order sole custody or supervised visitation if deemed necessary to protect the child’s best interests.
