Children of Unmarried Parents

Child Custody Between Unmarried Parents

Like divorcing couples, unmarried parents face family law problems. The Lawrence Law Office, helps unmarried parents with issues related to child support, parenting time and custody of their children.

Representation Focused on the Best Interests of the Child

In Ohio, before paternity is formally established, an unmarried father has no legal custody or visitation rights. The unmarried mother is presumed to have the physical and legal custody rights to children that were born out of wedlock. Therefore, she has the legal right to custody, care, and control over the child, and her rights are superior to those of the father or any other person.
