In Ohio, a Mother and Father are on equal footing in regard to custody. Furthermore, custody or parental rights and responsibilities may be awarded to one parent or may be shared by both parents. The Court may also grant visitation rights to a non-residential parent, grandparent, or other individual with an interest in the welfare of the child. When making a custody determination or deciding whether to grant visitation, the Court must determine the best interests of the child.
