The best interests of the children govern court decisions regarding child custody. Our law firm will work to assert and protect your rights where your children are concerned.
Divorce
Child custody often is a central matter during a divorce, and we will utilize all means within the legal system to work toward a solution that is best for your children.
Unmarried Parents
In Ohio, children born to unmarried parents are in the full custody of their mothers. Unmarried fathers must establish their parental rights within the court system in order to gain legal rights to visitation or parenting time.
Grandparents or Other Family Members
When grandparents or other family members need to obtain custody of children because the parents are unable or unwilling to care for the children, our law firm can help.
Step-parent Adoption
When a step-parent adopts a child, that step-parent takes on all rights and responsibilities of a biological parent. This is a celebration within a family, and our law firm can help you through the process, which can be daunting on occasion if the biological parent does not consent.
