In Re the marriage of Sally Bright vs. John Bright
Petioner
Parental Custody
Referring to Sally Bridge's case the principal area of concern in the instant case was the verdict of the jury. Ohio courts generally do not consider sexual orientation of parents in determining custody and visitation, unless it is shown to adversely affect or harm to children. Courts have used gender identity or expression of parents to refuse, restrict or modify custody and visitation. Ohio courts have granted custody or visiting rights to non-biological parent of the child.
