What Ohio expects
Ohio's term of art is 'shared parenting' — a shared parenting plan must be filed and approved for parents to share rights and responsibilities. Local rules vary by county, so check the form for the county where the case is filed.
Governing law: Ohio Rev. Code § 3109.04.
Ohio requires its own form — Shared Parenting Plan (county-specific forms). Agree your terms first, then transcribe them onto it.
The honest trade-off
The simplest 50/50 schedule to run and the easiest to explain to a child — but a week is a long time away from a parent for a young child, and one forgotten backpack can strand a school project for seven days. Most plans using it add a midweek dinner or call with the other parent.
