In Columbus, Ohio, as well as elsewhere, courts usually focus on the best interests of the children when dealing with child custody and visitation matters. The judge or magistrate typically gives the reasons for the divorce or the grounds for separation little credence. The Court typically prefers shared parenting, where the kids spend the maximum time with each parent. Also known as joint custody, this makes both parents legal residential parents, giving parents equal say in major educational, social, and religious decisions. Under this regime, the court’s presumption is to keep the children together, with children living primarily with one parent and spending visitation time with the other parent. This usually does not require establishing child support because it is assumed the spouses share parenting time, unless one parent earns overwhelmingly more money.
