• The general rule in Ohio is that an unmarried female who gives birth to a child is the sole residential parent and legal custodian of the child until a court issues an order designating another person as the residential parent and legal custodian (RC 3109.042). In such cases, the mother will be asked to sign documentation stating that she was not married to the father, and that legal custody of the child has not been assigned to either parent by the court.
