Does a residential parent need to be assigned in a divorce?

Does a child have to live with a parents half the time for that parent to be considered the residential parent in Ohio?

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". :) peggy

The fact that a parent is seeing someone else before a divorce takes place should have no impact on custody whatsoever, unless the other parent feels that the third party would have a negative impact on the child, or would endanger the child in any way.

Should you be sad that your parents are getting a divorce?

You need to decide for yourself how you feel about your parents' divorce. You are entitled to your own feelings and no one else has the right to take them from you. If a parent says, "Do not be sad because I am not." That parent is wrong. The way that parent feels has nothing to do with the way you feel. You still love your parents, but you are a separate person. If someone says, "It is a shame your parents are getting a divorce, you should feel sad," that person has no right to tell you how to feel. Your parents may have been fighting for years. You may be glad the horror is over. Some people are sad when their parents get a divorce; some people are relieved.
