AI Summary

This bill amends sections of the Ohio Revised Code to grant equal time and responsibility for a child between parents. The key provisions are: - Establishes a rebuttable presumption that equal decision-making rights and responsibilities between parents and equal parenting time is in the best interest of the child, unless rebutted by clear and convincing evidence. - Requires the court to allocate parental rights and responsibilities in a shared parenting order if the presumptions are not rebutted. - Establishes new procedures for modifying or terminating shared parenting orders and other parental rights and responsibilities orders. - Requires the court to consider various factors when determining if the presumptions are rebutted, such as the parents' ability to cooperate, any history of abuse or domestic violence, and the child's wishes. - Repeals sections related to the court's prior discretion in allocating parental rights and responsibilities, including sections on shared parenting decrees and parenting time orders. The overall goal of the bill is to promote equally shared parenting rights and responsibilities between parents, unless specific circumstances warrant a different arrangement in the best interest of the child.
