Third Party Custody Requirements
Summary
In Ohio, a third party seeking custody must prove parental unfitness and that custody serves the childs best interest. No specific cohabitation period is required. Accusations without evidence are generally insufficient in court. To regain custody, file a motion to modify custody, showing significant changes and the childs best interest. Testimonial accusations can be used if credible. Challenge witness credibility by highlighting biases, inconsistencies, and past dishonesty. Effective cross-examination involves preparation, leading questions, and maintaining professionalism.Full Conversation
