1 Answer from Attorneys
In Ohio, he has whatever rights that the court has ordered. If there is a court order establishing him as the father, but there is not court ordered visitation schedule, then he does not have the right to visit with them until he seeks out and gets court-ordered visitation. You can of course be heard in opposition to visitation, arguing the deleterious effect it will have on the children, and if the court agrees with you, then the court may drastically limit visitation or grant him only supervised visitation.
