Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

visitation for special needs 22 year old

My stepdaughter is 22 years old and has Down Syndrome. Her father and I share joint guardianship of her. Her biological mother lives out of state and has since she was 14. We have set up some rules on when, where, and how long visitation occurs with her for our daughters safety. But she now wants to have her for a couple of months out of the year instead of a week here and there. We have refused this and she says she will now file in our state for visitation rights. Can she do this?

Re: visitation for special needs 22 year old

Of course she can file but who knows if she will win. I would need more facts and it would depend on the circumstances of your case. Unfortunately, no two cases are the same.

You will need an attorney to protect your rights. Please feel free to contact me for a free consultation. I would love to help.
