If there is no court-ordered custody and the parents were never married, the mother is considered the sole residential parent and legal custodian pursuant to O.R.C. 3109.042(A) and the child must be enrolled in the school district in the city where the birth mother lives – until a court determines otherwise. As an alternative, the other parent may seek to obtain legal custody through the courts. If he/she does, the child may be admitted tuition-free, for up to sixty days pursuant to O.R.C. 3313.64(E). For the District to consider a sixty-day provisional enrollment, the adult must provide evidence of application for legal proceedings or a notarized sworn statement that the adult is seeking custody of the child through the court system.
