Courts modifying child custody in Ohio have to follow a set
of rules. As always, the best interests
of the child must be considered.
However, before getting to that point, the court must consider a number
of factors as to whether the case qualifies for a modification of parental
rights and responsibilities.
The court must first find a change of circumstances has
occurred. This is done by determining
that facts have arisen or were unknown since the last court order creating a
change of circumstances in the child or the residential parent. The court then turns to the next point in the
analysis. The court must then determine
one of the following: (1) the residential parent agreed to a
change; (2) the child, with the consent
of the residential parent, has been integrated into the family of the person
seeking to become the residential parent; or (3) the harm likely to be caused by a change of environment is
outweighed by the advantages of the change of environment to the child. Once these first two factors have been
determined, then the best interests of the child is considered in considering a
change in placement.
