Custody Battles Increase Amidst Pandemic

Co-parenting is never easy and when you add working from home, unemployment and now homeschooling, things just got even more stressful.

Co-parenting is never easy and when you add working from home, unemployment and now homeschooling, things just got even more stressful.

Our current restrictions have many Cuyahoga County residents scrambling as children begin virtual learning. This can start an entirely new conversation in terms of which parent should retain sole custody.

If the children still require adult supervision, the parent who is able to work from home may receive custody based on their ability to help homeschool.

An article in Healthychildren.org posed many issues that have arisen during COVID-19 that every parent should take into consideration.

We strongly advise anyone seeking additional custody or financial support to contact us.

Ohio Restrictions Enforceable by Law?

Our office has been working tirelessly to help clients in the midst of these current conditions and if you are in need of help, contact us today.

It has now been two months since schools, offices and all non-essential businesses closed.

We have become accustomed to the new normal of staying at home only with our immediate family.

With Gov. Mike DeWine’s stay at home shelter order, Scene magazine reported, “DeWine repeated that these protocols will now be part of an order, "not a suggestion," and that they can be enforced by both local health departments and law enforcement.”

This means hosting parties, an event or even a larger family function with more than 10 people is in direct violation of the state orders and is in fact enforceable by law.

We have been encouraging all family members to take a walk outside if things escalate or get heated inside the house, and as the restrictions ease and businesses slowly re-open, we continue to follow all protocols as these are legally mandated.
