Compassionate and Zealous Advocates
At Fout Law Office, we understand that a “no-fault” divorce does not mean that there are no issues to resolve. Our experts in New Franklin divorce law will zealously advocate for you throughout the divorce negotiation process. Some of the issues that we encounter most often include the following:
- Property Division: As an equitable distribution state, Ohio law requires that spouses split their marital estate equitably, but not necessarily equally. Depending on the details of your case, you may be entitled to a greater share of the marital assets in your divorce case. Our office will also protect you from damaging property distribution agreements that saddle you with your spouse’s debts and protect you from illegal activity like hiding assets.
- Spousal Support: The purpose of spousal support is to help an economically disadvantaged spouse become financially independent following the end of a marriage. Unfortunately, changes in the federal tax code have disincentivized alimony as a support option during and after a divorce. Our office will work with you to figure out whether spousal support is the best option for financial assistance following your divorce, and if so what the proper amount of alimony should be awarded in your case.
- Child Custody and Visitation: Often one of the most emotionally fraught issues in an Ohio divorce is determining child custody and visitation. Our office will work with you to figure out whether sole or joint custody is most appropriate for your child. If you are not awarded primary custody of your child, we will fight hard to ensure that you receive as much visitation time as possible during and after the divorce.
- Child Support: Your child deserves the same level of care and standard of life regardless of where they are staying, and child support ensures that their needs are met with both parents. We will ensure that your child receives the proper amount of child support and that you are not paying too much or receiving too little in your case.
