Ohio Revised Code is clear. Has father been to court and received from the court (not CSEA) visitation or custody rights? If not, the unmarried mother is the custodian and residential parent. See 3109.042 Custody rights of unmarried mother. To determine what exactly this means to you, please schedule a meeting with a family law attorney to discuss your situation.

If there are no court orders giving him any legal rights, such as visitation or custodial rights, then yes.
