Summary

The bill lets Ohio courts require parents in divorce, dissolution, legal separation, annulment, or child‑rights cases to mediate any disputes over who will care for the children and how time will be shared. It also mandates a short orientation for each parent about the mediation process, their rights, and available resources. The goal is to encourage agreement and keep court time focused on the children’s best interests.
