What are your rights when it comes to visitation or parenting time in a divorce in Ohio? That is a big question that comes to mind when a parent or couple enters into a divorce, dissolution, annulment, or legal separation. Local courts have discretion in granting parenting time and visitation rights. They are required by state law to determine what would be in the child's best interest. State statutes and local rules help guide the court when making their decisions. A Columbus divorce attorney can help you get the visitation or parenting time that you deserve and are entitled to.

There are many factors the court must consider when making a decision on visitation and parenting time. Some factors include the child's wishes, child's age, and the relationship between the child and parent. Ideally, the court wants to make it fair and allow for both parents to be able to spend time with their child. They also want the child to be able to keep and build their relationships with both parents. In no way shape or form does the court want to put the child in harm's way or in a position that would not be in the child's best interest. Ralph A.
