Visitation Rights After Cpo

Summary

In Ohio, visitation rights after a CPO for domestic violence depend on the childs best interests and the fathers rehabilitation efforts. Without rehabilitation or modification of the CPO, obtaining visitation is challenging. The court may consider supervised visitation if progress is shown. Renewing a CPO should be done before it expires, and hearings typically involve both parties. Presenting evidence of ongoing threats or harassment, including indirect contact through family, can support the need for continued protection.
