Protecting Your Interests on Major Issues

One of the biggest benefits to hiring an experienced divorce attorney for your case is that your lawyer can protect your interests in negotiations on the most important issues in your case. Some of the most common litigated matters in Ohio divorce cases include the following:

• Property Distribution: Ohio is an equitable distribution state, which means that all marital property must be split equitably, but not necessarily equally. Certain situations like infidelity, student loans, gambling debts, and other circumstances may entitle you to a greater share of the marital estate in your divorce. 
• Spousal Support: The purpose of spousal support is to help the spouse with less resources become financially independent during and after the divorce proceedings. With changes to federal tax laws in recent years, the issue of spousal support can be even more challenging in an Ohio divorce case. We can ensure that you do not pay too much, or receive too little, in alimony payments.
• Child Custody and Visitation: Often, one of the most emotional and difficult matters in any divorce case is the issue of child custody and visitation. The Ohio courts start with the presumption that both parents should be in a child’s life, we will aggressively fight for custody and as much time as possible with your child. Our attorneys understand what factors the court considers when making determinations on custody and visitation, and we can help craft the best possible arguments for your case.
• Child Support: Your child deserves the same standard of living regardless of which parent they stay with, and child support ensures that their expenses and well-being are taken care of at both households. Our team will ensure that the child support payments reflect exactly what one parent should pay, and the other receive, for your child’s welfare.
