• 2026 Ohio 70

Syllabus

The issuance of a DVCPO against father was improper because the trial court did not analyze whether the children were \endangered\ or \abused\ under Ohio law. The DVCPO proceedings were improperly treated as a substitute for child custody proceedings among quarreling parents. However, the trial court's denial of father's DVCPO petition against stepfather was not against the manifest weight of the evidence after presuming—with father not overcoming that presumption—the trial court's determination that one of the children's testimony against stepfather was not credible.
