Ohio Rev. Code § 3109.04

custody statute

Ohio custody law

Ohio courts may allocate parental rights and responsibilities based on the best interests of the child, including shared parenting arrangements.

What Ohio courts consider in custody decisions

Ohio courts consider the wishes of both parents, the child's wishes (with interviews available at any age), the child's interaction with parents and siblings, the child's adjustment to home and school, the mental and physical health of all parties, whether either parent has honored prior court orders, whether a parent has denied the other's visitation rights, and whether a parent plans to relocate.

How the custody process works in Ohio

Ohio custody is handled in the Domestic Relations Division of the Court of Common Pleas. Parents seeking shared parenting must file a shared parenting plan. Both parents may file separate plans, and the court can adopt either or create a hybrid. A guardian ad litem is frequently appointed to investigate and recommend custody arrangements to the judge.
