Who gets custody if both parents die but they are divorced and I live with my dad and my brother lives with my mom?
If a person is designated as the custodian in the parents' will(s), then that person is likely to be granted the custody. If however, there was no will, or no custodian specified in the will, then, then the court can appoint a custodian of its own choice. Usually, any of the relatives - uncles, aunts, grand parents, step parents, and even friends and strangers can apply for the custody. It is the responsibility of the court to choose the custodian. In case there are no will, or no custodian specified, and no petitions, then the court may put the children in foster care. This answer is actually independent of the marital status of the parents, and which child is living with whom at the time of the parents' death.

Both parents are fighting for full custody of a 4 year old daughter both are good parents how does a judge decide?
the judge will make a decsion that is best for the child but will probably let one parent get full custody and let the other parent visit the child. What could happen is that the court will award Joint Legal Custody to both parents - when that is elected, both parents must be involved in all legal matters (education, moving, etc.) and agree on those things. Unfortunately, one or the other parent has to be given Primary Custody and the other gets Visitation rights.

What things does a minor have to do to be emancipated in Ohio?
It is my understanding that Ohio does not allow a minor to petition for emancipation. A minor is considered emancipated if they get married or join the military, both of which require parental consent. However, in Ohio, if the minor gets divorced or is discharged from the military before turning 18, custody reverts back to their parents.

Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Once paternity is established in court, the father can request visitations or custody through the court. If the mother retains physical custody she can request that the court issue a child support order. If the father gets physical custody he can request a child support order.

research the law for your state. who ever the children are living with today is more than likely who they will be living with until it is established by the court.
Why do parents not get divorced?
That depends on many things. They may stay together for their children, so that the kids don't have to make a lot of choices such as: who's house do we stay at, how long do we stay at each house, who gets custody, who gets to claim them on their income taxes, etc etc. People might want to avoid all the hassle of getting a divorce. There can also be an emotional side to it, for example some parents might think it sets the worst possible example of marriage to their children if they get divorced. Some believe that the children of divorced parents become more likely to get a divorce themselves. Finally, the parents might hold off on a divorce in hopes that they can resolve their differences and become less incompatible.
