Ohio Custody Support Laws

Summary

In Ohio, child custody and support are governed by the Ohio Revised Code. Parents are not legally required to provide financial support to custodial non-parents without a child support order. Custodial non-parents can petition the court to establish a child support order. There is no specific law stating this obligation, but child support is typically established through court orders. For further guidance, consider consulting a family law attorney.
