FAQs
What should I bring to my first consultation?
Financial documents, information about children, existing orders or agreements, and your questions.
Is spousal support guaranteed in Ohio?
No. It depends on the facts of the marriage and each spouse’s finances.
If we share custody 50/50, can child support still be ordered?
Sometimes, yes. Income differences and child-related costs can still lead to a support order.
What’s the difference between divorce and dissolution?
A dissolution requires full agreement throughout the process. A divorce resolves disagreements through negotiation or court decisions.
