The Ohio Parenting Time Guidelines For Non-Residential Parent outline the amount of time a child should spend with a non-residential parent in Ohio. These guidelines are designed to ensure that a child has a meaningful relationship with both parents. The guidelines are divided into three categories: standard parenting time orders, shared parenting time orders, and special parenting time orders. Standard parenting time orders are the most common type of parenting time order in Ohio. These orders provide for a minimum amount of parenting time for the non-residential parent, typically a two-day weekend every other week. Shared parenting time orders are for parents who have equal or nearly equal parenting time. These orders provide for a minimum of two overnights per week with the non-residential parent and may include additional time. Special parenting time orders are for parents who have a special relationship with their child or who need special arrangements due to work or school schedules. These orders are tailored to the individual situation and provide for a minimum of one overnight with the non-residential parent. In addition to the guidelines, Ohio courts may also issue parenting plans that provide for additional parenting time, such as holidays, summer vacation, and birthdays.
