FAQ
You do not need a lawyer to file for custody (sole or shared parental responsibility). However, with the help of a lawyer, it may be easier for you to gather and present the information you will need to convince the judge of your position on what the parenting plan and time sharing schedule should be.
Every custody case requires the following forms, regardless of the court. Parenting Proceeding Affidavit: List the children involved in your case, their current and former residences, and any prior cases involving them. Health Insurance Affidavit: List each parent's health insurance coverage.
The judge will look at: Physical and mental health: Ohio courts will assess the physical and mental health of each parent. If there are chronic health conditions, substance abuse, or mental health issues, that could impact custody decisions.
An adult can file a custody case in either the Domestic Relations or Juvenile Court in the county where the child lives. Then, the judge can decide to issue a custody order.
To start a custody change, you have to file a motion in court. Go to the “Motion for custody change” page to find the forms you need. Explain your proposed changes and why they meet the requirements above. File them in the court where the original order was made.
