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.

Harrison County, Ohio Parenting Time Guidelines
Parenting time is a time for children to do things with the parent with whom they do not live. Activities that you do with them or skills you can teach them help the time be rewarding and enriching. Encouraging the children to find friends in your neighborhood also helps make it like home for them. Children clearly profit by continued meaningful contact with both parents. Children need the continuing and regular involvement of both parents to feel loved. No specific schedule will satisfy the change in needs of both children and parents over the years. Critical to the success of any schedule is that each parent be flexible, based upon the changing needs of the child, as the child grows older.
This Guideline Parenting Schedule takes into account the changing developmental needs of children. This schedule represents the minimum requirements for parenting time. It is each party’s responsibility to tailor this schedule as necessary to meet the best interest of their child(ren). It is recognized that each situation and each child is different. Liberal parenting time arrangements are encouraged, as contact with both parents is important to the children. Absent such agreement each party shall follow these requirements. Specific items in each case’s Order take precedence over this schedule as the court will strive to adopt a parenting schedule that is in the child(ren)’s best interests. Changes or modifications can be made by the court if need of such is shown. Any request to deviate from the following parenting schedule shall be supported by the filing of the proper motion.
NO PARENT IS PERMITTED TO MAKE PARENTING TIME ARRANGEMENTS OR MODIFY ORDERED PARENTING TIME ARRANGEMENTS DIRECTLY WITH THE CHILD(REN). THE PARENTS MUST PERSONALLY DISCUSS ANY ISSUES OR CONFLICTS INVOLVING PARENTING TIME WITHOUT USING THE CHILD(REN) AS INTERMEDIARY/INTERMEDIARIES. [Read more…]
