I live in Ohio and I do believe the child in question must live with the parent MORE than 50% of the year for that particular parent to be "the Residential Parent". In my case, it was described in the Divorce Decree that I was to be the sole custodian and residential parent.
If you need further info, try calling the Ohio State Bar Association and see if they can point you in the right direction or give you the info you need- they may even be able to do it for "free". :)

What is the difference between a custodial parent and a residential parent?
A custodial parent is the parent who has custody of the child. Usually, that would be both parents. A residential parent is the parent who the child lives with the most.
Who is financially responsible for child in residential custody?
Both parents are. The parent who does not have residential custody usually pay child support to the one who has residential custody to be used to pay for the child. Both have to pay for their child.
Is it considered runaway if the child leaves to live with the non custodial parent?
With the permission of the residential parent? Yes. see related question.
Interrogitory about residential parent?
What if a residential parent had to go to jail and the child is with a friend. Can the other joint go get her.
Can child support be reduced if the custodial parent gets a job?
yes It's possible but unlikely because, in general, child support is based on the obligor's net income. In some countries like Australia, parental child support is based on a percentage of the non residential parent's net income. This amount is regardless of what the residential parent earns. The governmental child assistance amount changes according to the residential parent's income. (In the case of Aus, RESIDENCY means whichever parent had the child living with them at the time. CUSTODY means whichever parents has the responsibility for decisionson the child's life. Generally this means both parents unless neglect, violence etc is involved)
If your child lives with you but you share legal custody with the other parent are you the custodial parent?
Primary residential
Does the non custodial parent have the right to know his child's residential address?
no
Could it be considered contributing to the delinquency of a minor if a child's parent facilitates that child seeing another child against that child's parents wishes?
Depends on the meaning of "seeing".
Can a parent kick a child out at age 17?
Legally they cannot kick them out. Until the child is an adult, usually 18, the parents are considered responsible for them.
Who is considered next of kin adoptive parent or biological parent?
Adoptive parent. Once a child has been adopted, his adoptive parents are his parents, period. It is as though he had been born to them. He no longer has ANY legal relationship to his birth parents; he has no claim on them nor they on him.
Can a mothet still get child support even if you have equal custody?
Your court order should state who is considered the "residential parent" if that is you, you can request through the court for adequate help with providing for the child(ren).
Can a 16 year old whose parents have joint custody move in with either parent?
In my state (Georgia) when a child is 14 and both parents are in a position to care for the child then the child can choose which parent he/she wants to live with. The judge will of course have the final say so, but the child's wishes are greatly considered.
