What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio (Richland County)
Hi. My husband and I are getting ready to separate. We have agreed to splitting our time with the kids equally. He will have them during the week while I am working and 1-2 overnights. I will have them in the weekday evenings (on the ones he isn't keeping them over night) and all weekend (b/c of his work schedule). The kids will be able to see both of us most days, which is what we were aiming for. When we go for the dissolution, with this parenting plan, will there be a custodial parent determined? If so, who? I am going to talk to him about it being me (I handle all the doctors appts, speech therapy etc for all 4 kids.....one of which has Tourette's and another has speech delays). If he doesn't agree, how does the court determine this?
My other question...if this doesn't stay this way and he decided to go after full custody, will the courts favor him because he is home all week? I do not think this will happen, but I'm trying to explore all options/scenarios. (Neither of us have criminal records, he's a great father to our kids so none of this would sway the courts either way).
Thanks! (I put my county because I read that the law can sometimes depend on the county)
