Child Custody, Visitation and Shared Parenting Time
In the state of Ohio, shared parenting time is usually considered the most beneficial custody arrangement for both children and parents. In a shared parenting plan, two parents share physical custody of the children and both have an equal say in making parenting decisions regarding the children's well-being, such as:
- School
- Health care
- Religion
- Extracurricular activities
Child Support in Ohio
Child support payments are calculated based on both parents' income and several additional factors, such as significant expenses related to the children's upbringing. These can include health insurance, medical care, child care and other needs. If you want to deviate from the state's guidelines, you must prove your case and demonstrate why your proposal is better for the children. One of our skilled family lawyers can assist you in presenting your case.
Whether you are going through a divorce or you are an unmarried couple with a child, it is highly recommended to seek legal counsel regarding child custody and child support. We will make sure your rights are protected and that the child's best interest is the number one goal.
