In Ohio, the jail sentence does not void out the shared parenting agreement, but it does make it temporarily impossible to comply with the visitation therein. What it does do is constitute a "change of circumstances" sufficient to justify a motion to change the shared parenting agreement to a sole custody agreement with you ex-husband merely having visitation. Depending upon what he went in for and for how long, the court may agree with you.
