Custody Considerations In Ohio

Summary

In Ohio, child custody is determined by the best interests of the child principle. Factors include the childs wishes, mental and physical health of parents and child, and parents willingness to facilitate a close relationship with the other parent. A parents mental health can impact custody decisions, but being on medication or having been hospitalized alone doesnt determine custody. Courts consider the overall ability to care for a child and maintain a stable environment. Consult a local attorney for personalized advice.

Hello ****,
In most states, courts decide custody based on the "best interests of the child". Factors include:
- The child's age, sex, and mental and physical health
- The parent's mental and physical health
- The parent's lifestyle and other social factors
- The emotional bond between parent and child
- The parent's ability to provide for the child's basic needs
As laws vary by location, please provide your location for more specific advice.
