Common Divorce Issues

There are many issues that can arise during a divorce, but some matters are more common than others. The most common issues in an Ohio divorce include the following:

Property Distribution

Ohio is an equitable distribution state, which means that the marital property in a divorce must be split equitably, but not necessarily equally, between spouses. A lawyer can help identify all separate, marital, and commingled property as well as ensure that you receive a full and fair share of the assets.

Spousal Support

In many Ohio divorce cases, one spouse earns a higher income than the other, and spousal support helps the spouse with the lower income maintain their standard of income as well as assists with the transition to financial independence. An attorney can ensure that a spouse does not pay too much or receive too little in alimony payments. 

Child Custody

When minor children are involved, one of the most emotional issues for parents is that of child custody and visitation. An experienced attorney will fight for joint custody and for as much time as possible with your child during and after the divorce. A lawyer can advocate for physical and legal custody of your child and help develop a comprehensive parenting plan that addresses the specific issues unique to your family. 

Child Support

Finally, a lawyer can help ensure that the proper amount of child support is determined to cover your child’s expenses during and after the divorce. Typically, the noncustodial parent pays the custodial parent support to cover the child’s daily expenses, but the specific circumstances of your family situation may impact the total amount of support paid or received. 

How a Lawyer Can Help

Divorce is often referred to as one of the most stressful and emotional times in a person’s life. An experienced divorce attorney handles all of the legal issues associated with the process to make it as efficient and streamlined as possible while protecting your rights and interests. An attorney understands the process and can ensure that you walk away from the relationship in the best possible position financially and otherwise. If minor children are involved, your lawyer can fight for as much time as possible with your child and help craft a parenting plan that meets everyone’s needs.
