Welcome to Summit Dads!

This site is continuously updated to serve as a substantial resource for fathers who are looking for answers to parentage questions or assistance with exercising their rights as a parent.  Specifically, unmarried fathers are encouraged to thoroughly read the articles provided before or after the birth of their child or while they are involved in a court case.  Within the pages of this web site, you will find helpful information concerning parenting plans, visitation, establishing a parent and child relationship, explanations of the differences between custodial and residential parents and how a father to change the last name of their child, just to name a few.

One of the newest developments within this site is the link to login for support.  Your free account is only necessary for gaining access to the assistance portion of this website, as it is an excellent way to fight unwanted spam messages there.  Articles, videos, etc ...  do not require registration.  Here, you can request one-on-one help with your parentage situation, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  While I am not yet a licensed attorney in this state, I can share my observations of literally scores of cases that have been tried throughout several counties in Ohio, and offer alternatives that have been proven true for others in similar positions.  Time has shown that this complimentary benefit is generally used for a variety of case types and instances.  Whether you are not sure where to start within the Juvenile or Domestic Relations Court procedures, need additional information about paternity (DNA) testing facilities or most anything else that is related to parentage cases, you can find help around the corner.  While guarantees cannot be made of any kind, many fathers have already tried it and discovered a number of rules and tactics, which assisted them favourably in their particular situations.  This site exists to aid you in achieving the results you seek.

On every page of this site, you will find resource links to the Domestic and Juvenile Court and Ohio county websites of interest for easy access.  You will also see information about the latest news about pending Ohio state legislation, accounts shared that are based upon the experience of others fighting for equal parenting and more.  Those who are looking for the Summit County Standard Order of Visitation Schedule can find a link for it in the visitation section.  New tools, articles and media sections become available quickly, so make sure to save this front page to your favourites and come back often.

The fact that you are here, probably means that you are looking for help in finding out things like:

• How do I establish paternity?

• What does residential parent for school or legal custodian mean?

• How is a shared parenting plan put together?

• Does an unmarried father have rights to see his child?

While the answers to these questions are not the same for everyone, remember that success leaves clues.  Through due diligence and careful study, other fathers in Ohio have realized several great accomplishments in their cases that you can benefit from greatly.  Remember that an informed father is generally the most successful one in his endeavours, especially in these types of situations.  Learning about the typical course of family court issues is the first line of protection against some of the most out of control practices of we see in parentage law today.  The choice, however, is ultimately yours.  Take the time to learn the process for yourself!  The information given in these pages remains here for this important purpose, and will remain so until true, equal parenting is presumed and practiced by every court responsible, in all 88 counties of the State of Ohio.
