Summit County Ohio Local Rule Parenting Time and Visitation Schedule

July 11, 2008

PLEASE TAKE NOTE:   Counties change their local visitation schedules.  The county you live in may have changed their rule(s) yesterday.  The county you live in may have different visitation schedules for Juvenile Court and Domestic Court. The rule may have been changed or updated since the last time this web page was updated.  In addition, if you already have a visitation schedule pursuant to local rule, and that schedule was attached to your parenting time orders, it is POSSIBLE that the court did not mean for YOUR visitation schedule to change if the local visitation schedule in your county changes. The local visitation schedules are put on this website as a courtesy and are updated as often as possible.  They are NOT legal advice and they are NOT meant to help you figure out if a decision you are about to make would be a violation of an existing court order.  If you want to make sure that you have the most current version of the local rule in your county, you can either look on your county Clerk of Court’s website, go to your local Clerk of Court’s office, or call your local Clerk of Court.

Click here to get a list of phone numbers for the Clerk of Court in your county.

If you know that the court in this county has implemented a new rule, PLEASE tell us by e-mailing us at info@cornwell-law.com and we will update our website.

The office of the Clerk of Court cannot give you legal advice.  This website, although prepared in part by attorneys, cannot and does not give you legal advice.  You can only get legal advice by talking to an attorney of your choice about the facts of your case, and the law as it applies to the facts of your case.

If you understand the information you have just read and would like to see the most recent local rule visitation schedule we have on our website, see the information below:

_______________________

Summit County Parenting Time Schedule ORC §3109.051 And Local Rule 25 Adopted 5 -1- 91, Amended 02-07-97, 03-31-2001


Domestic Relations Division Judge Carol J. Dezso
Summit County Court of Common Pleas Judge John P. Quinn

The best parenting time schedule is your own plan. However, if you cannot agree, this Court designed this schedule to insure that your child(ren) will have frequent and consistent contact with the non‑residential parent. If there are objections to this schedule because of special circumstances (for example: travel time, work schedules), or problems (for example: substance abuse, mental illness, violence), you may present specific facts in a scheduled hearing stating why this parenting time is not in the best interest of your child.

PLEASE NOTE: Summer vacations shall take precedence over the holiday schedule and the holiday schedule shall take precedence over the normal weekly schedule. When parenting times are in conflict due to the ages of the children, the schedule of the oldest child under age 14 shall apply for all children.

A. WEEKEND AND MIDWEEK

1. For Children from Birth to 18 Months

Three weekly times for 2-6 hours, on the days and times the parties can agree. If the parties cannot agree, then the days shall be every Saturday from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 p.m. until 8:00 p.m., unless otherwise ordered by the Court.

2. For a Child 18 Months to Three Years

One or two weekly times for 2‑6 hours, plus one overnight, on the days and times the parties can agree. If the parties cannot agree, then the days shall be every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. and overnight from Friday at 5:30 p.m. until Saturday at 5:30 p.m., unless otherwise ordered by the Court.

3. For Children From Age Three Through Age 13

Every other weekend from Friday after school (as soon as non‑residential parent can pick up the child) until Sunday at 7:00 p.m., plus one evening a week, as the parties may agree. If the parties cannot agree, the midweek will be Wednesday from 5:30 until 8:00 p.m. and alternating weekends from 5:30 p.m. Friday until Sunday at 7:00 p.m., unless otherwise ordered by the Court.

4. For A Child Age 14 and Older

Parenting time is expected to take place weekly, with the days and times to be agreed upon between the child and the nonresidential parent.

B. SUMMER VACATION – 4 WEEKS COMMENCING AT AGE 18 MONTHS

2. During vacation periods extending more than two weeks, the residential parent shall have the same mid week parenting as the non‑residential parent, if the child(ren) is/are in the vicinity.

3. Each parent must provide the other parent with his/her vacation destination and telephone number, where he/she can be reached, times of arrival and departure, and method of travel.

4. Non residential parent’s schedule shall have priority over residential parent’s unless residential parent’s vacation time is mandated by provisions of his/her employment (such as annual plant shut down). The parties shall give written notice of the vacation schedule at least 60 days in advance.

    our child’s father only follows the schedule when it benefits him. He uses our daughter as a pawn to control us. I was getting to have our child overnight on Wednesday but he got mad because I told him I didn’t want to have sex with him and now he won’t let me have her on Wednesday anymore. His reason is it’s not an order by the court. Our daughter is devastated. It’s affecting her school. He doesn’t take time to help her with homework/learning because he works all the time. I was helping her but now it’s impossible. I cannot afford an attorney so I quess my 6 year old daughter and I will keep suffering. While waiting for our custody hearing in March, is there a way he can be made to follow the standard schedule? This is not fair.

    What if the father works second shift and cannot visit during the court ordered visitation time?

    Why are the weekly overnight visits being taken from the child from the non custodian parent ? Substituting with a 3 hour visit? My child looks forward to this! this would be highly detrimental to him and to me .

    When the non residential parent picks a vacation for a week that starts on a Saturday does it end the same time the following Saturday?

    What if the parents live 4 hours apart (one way)? Would the court force a child to go every other weekend meaning that they would be in a car for 16 hours a month? The child is young and is having major separation issues.

    How do holidays work if mother is only entitled to every other Thanksgiving Christmas and easter and 3 weeks out of the summer???

    Both parents have split custody but “Mother’s parenting time shall be at all other times and until otherwise agreed Mother’s time shall be supervised by the maternal Grandmother. The maternal Grandmother may exercise Mother’s parenting any time Mother is unable to do so. What does agreed mean? Can I allow my granddaughter to live with her mother when I deem she is ready?

    Is Fourteen old enough that a child can decide they don’t want to go for visitation without having to go to court? I was told they can refuse to go and that the other would have to file a motion for not MAKING them go. My son does NOT want to go unless he feels like it!
