Divorce.
Sometimes, divorce from your spouse is the only way to move forward in a healthy manner for yourself and for your children. Our law firm will passionately protect your rights throughout the divorce process, which includes issues related to child custody, child support, spousal support, and division of property. The process can be confusing and emotional, and we will work with you to help you feel empowered to make informed decisions at every step.
Dissolution.
Dissolution is one way to terminate a marriage. It works only when both soon-to-be ex-spouses are able to communicate and agree on every single term in the settlement. If you both can agree, we can help you obtain a dissolution.
Prenuptial Agreements
Without a prenuptial agreement, known as an antenuptial agreement in Ohio, state law will determine division of assets if a marriage ends in divorce. A prenuptial agreement, or antenuptial agreement in Ohio, allows a couple to decide on many of these topics before there is any conflict in the marriage relationship. It allows the couple to determine how finances will be handled during the marriage, including who is responsible for property taxes or home maintenance. It also allows a couple to determine how property may be distributed to children from prior relationships or marriages. Our law firm can advise you on these and other rights and obligations prior to marriage.
