Family Law FAQs

How long does a divorce take in Ohio?

An uncontested divorce can be finalized in as little as 30–90 days. Contested divorces involving disputes over property, custody, or support can take 6–18 months or longer.

What is the difference between divorce and dissolution in Ohio?

Dissolution requires both parties to agree on all terms before filing. Divorce is used when parties cannot agree and requires the court to decide disputed issues.

How does Ohio determine child custody?

Ohio courts consider the 'best interest of the child' standard, evaluating factors like each parent's ability to provide stability, the child's relationship with each parent, and the child's wishes if old enough.

Can I modify a custody order in Ohio?

Yes, if there has been a change in circumstances. We help clients file modification requests and represent them at hearings.
