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 happens to the estate of a child that dies in a motorcycle accident and the parents are divorced and one of the parents is 9000.00 in arears on the child support and hasn't seen them in 4 yrs?
Both parents have a cause of action with respect to the child's wrongful death. Each parent is an heir of the child, in equal shares, absent a Will. hm im not 2 sure whys that Why? Because the divorce of a child's parents is not a divorce of a child from a parent. In other words, it does not terminate the parent-child relationship between the child and either parent.
How would a parent legally renounce paternity of an adult child that is his own child?
Not really. The child of two married individuals is legally considered to be the child of both spouses. If the child is beyond the age at which the parents have legal responsibility for him/her, the legality of paternity is almost entirely irrelevant. If is mostly just a social/family issue. The parent can refuse to see the child, refuse to speak to the child, etc. The only remaining legal detail is writing the child out of the parents will, living will, etc., so that the child cannot make end-of-life decisions for the parent or inherit any of the parent's estate.

Can a separated parent who has no custody agreement take a child from a caretaker without the other parents permission?
If there isn't a specific custody agreement in place, both parents are still considered equally valid legal guardians of the child, so yes. In fact, not only could the parent do so, but the caretaker could be in legal trouble if they refused.
Can Child protection agency help with custody if other parents has a unfit home?
In general, child protection does not get involved in custody in any way. If a child is removed from an unfit home the noncustodial parent can often have the child placed with them, but are considered a foster parent in the legal sense. There is a federal law that states that the offending parent has 15 out of the next 22 consecutive months to rehabilitate and get custody back of their child. If this does not happen then the state is obligated to file a termination of parental rights against that individual. If the parent completes rehabilitation then the child is returned to their custody and the parents must determine custody through a separate court action. The short answer is that child protection is generally required to attempt to reunify the child with the parent that they were removed from.

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)

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.

What is residential custody in Maryland?
"Sole" or "primary" residential custody can mean something very different to a particular parent. "Residential custody", also referred to as "physical custody", refers to where a child sleeps overnight. A parent has "residential custody" when their child sleeps at his/her house overnight, even though the child may have spent the entire day with the other parent. Residential custody should be thought of as a parenting plan agreed to by both parents, or imposed by a judge, which describes where a child sleeps. "Joint custody" is made up of two separate pieces: (1) a nearly equal division of residential custody, and (2) joint legal custody. The first piece, residential custody may, does not always, mean that a child spends equal overnights with both parents. Joint custody always does mean that the parent whom the child is with, has right and obligation to provide a home for that child and to make the day-to-day decisions that are necessary when the child is in his/her custody. The second piece, "joint legal custody", always does mean that both parents have the exact equal obligation and authority to make long range decisions about education, religious training, discipline, medical care, and other matters of major significance for a child's life and welfare. When parents have joint legal custody, neither parent's rights are superior to the other. "Shared custody" is a numerical analysis Maryland law uses only for child support purposes. Parents have "shared custody" when one of them has a child in his/her residential custody for 35% or more of the overnights in a 365 day period. When "shared custody" exists, the amount of child support paid is substantially reduced in most circumstances. The reasoning is that because the party who is required to pay child support has the child with them overnight frequently enough, that they are paying for more of the child's needs while in their own home. So they need not pay as much child support over to the other parent.
