How Is Child Custody Determined In Ohio?

Child custody decisions must be in alignment with the best interests of the child. Numerous case-specific factors go into this determination, including:

• Each parent’s ability to provide the child with a safe and stable home environment
• The child’s relationship with each parent
• The child’s adjustment to home, school and community
• The mental and physical health of all parties involved
• The willingness of each parent to facilitate a relationship with the other parent

We are committed to advocating for arrangements that best support your child’s needs and future.

What Factors Influence Child Support Calculations In Ohio?

Child support in Ohio is determined by guidelines that are based on several factors such as:

• Each parent’s income
• How many children they have
• Any special needs or educational expenses
• Health care and child care costs

We can help you understand how these factors apply to your situation. We also address more complicated cases involving self-employment income, children with special needs and factors that warrant deviations from the child support guidelines.

Can Child Custody And Support Agreements Be Modified?

Yes, both child custody and support can be modified. Modifications require demonstrating a substantial change in circumstances. For custody, you must show that the modification is in the best interests of the child. Examples of changes that might warrant modification include a parent’s relocation, changes in income or changes in the child’s needs.

We are here to assist you in seeking modifications, or enforcement of existing custody or support orders.
