Child custody

Nuts · 03-09-2012, 08:17 AM

Does anyone know if in Ohio in order to get "shared parenting" both sides have to agree to it, or can the courts set it up that way? I have my daughter more than her mom does,legally and on paper, but her mom has "full custody" and I just have "visitations". I asked my lawyer why they didn't give us "shared parenting" and he said that both parties have to agree to it. So now I pay child support and insurance like I only see my daughter once a week and every other weekend, but she actually stays at my house 3 nights one week and 5 nights the next. Like most dads I feel like I'm getting screwed and don't have any options....

My daughter and son in law went through mediations and then court for shared parenting of his son. They had social workers checking on their homes, but they did get the shared parenting.

I know she won't thats why I'm trying to find out if it can be set by the court if she doesn't.

if your daughter is 12 she can pick where she lives. if you can prove she stay with you more and have a good atty you can get full custody. i went thru it 5 yrs ago. but my wife was dating a pervert and the police got involved so she had no choice. i just kept myy] daughter till the court made it finial.

Best to document when she stays with you and how long it been going on. And then head forward with actions. I have a bud that went through the same situation and they granted shared but he ended up with full custody in his situation. I believe because of the documentation ..
