Ohio Custody Laws In terms of parenting time, parents can share equal time with the child or one parent may have most of the time with and responsibility for the child. The parent who primarily lives with the child is called the "residential parent." The other parent is referred to as the "noncustodial parent."
Ohio law treats a 14 year old in the same manner as a 4 year old when it comes to determining which parent with be designated as the residential parent. And, like almost all issues involving minor children, the determination is guided by what is in the best interest of the child.
In Ohio, the legal relationship between a parent and child extends equally to all parents and all children, regardless of the parents' marital status. An unmarried mother may establish her parent-child relationship by proving that she gave birth.
In the majority of states including Ohio teens under the age of 18 cannot legally make the decision themselves whether or not to see their parents. The only way to change this situation is for the custodial parent to go to court and try to get a modification of the custody agreement.
A child cannot choose which parent they can live with. This is up to the discretion of the Columbus, Ohio court system. While a child may prefer one parent over the other, the judge will decide what is the most beneficial for the child in question.
The most common joint custody arrangements include the 2-2-3 plan and the 2-2-5 plan. Both involve spending alternate sets of days with either parent. Also common is the alternate week plan, where the child spends one week with a parent and the next week with the other.
Ohio law does not provide a predetermined age, though many counties do in their local rules. Often they are addressed in the county's standard order of parenting time. The majority of counties appear to choose the age of 16 as the age in which the minor child may make the choice on their own behalf.
In law, there is no fixed age that determines when a child can express a preference as to where they want to live. However, legally, a child cannot decide who they want to live with until they are 16 years old. Once a child reaches the age of 16, they are legally allowed to choose which parent to live with.
