Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

My daughter is going to court for visitation rights for her daughter's father.

they are unmarried, and when he has asked to see her she has let him, one year ago my grand daughter developed allergies and was in childrens hospital she is 3 now. the father and his mom want her to stay all night even though they have a dog in the house and she is allergic to pet dander. We have not let her spend the night , but she has visited them now they want her to spend the night, we have been so cautious with her so she does not have an attack with her asthma. How can we approach the judge with the subject so willl not have to let her spend the night as she gets older maybe but it have only been a year. What do we do???

In Ohio, if there is a condition at one of the parents homes Which is a danger to the child, Then you can ask the court To change the visitation order So that this danger is alleviated. In your case it could be as simple as having the court order the other parent not to have the dog. But the burden of proof is going to be on you to show that it is a danger to the child. As such you may have to bring in a doctor or an allergist to testify.
