In Ohio, the ex has to prove that 1) there has been a change in circumstances warranting the court reopening the matter of the parenting decree and 2) that the change the ex seeks is in the best interest of the child.
Shared parenting agreements most often meet their demise when 1 parent can show the court that the parents can no longer get along well enough to jointly make the important decisions involving the child.
