Divorce with children

Should you consider a Divorce, Dissolution, or a Legal Separation?

Under Ohio Family Law, a legal marriage can be terminated or suspended in three different ways: Divorce, Dissolution, or Legal Separation.

  • In general, a divorce applies when the parties are unable to agree upon the terms relating to ending the marriage.
  • Dissolution may be appropriate if the parties can agree upon all the terms necessary to end the marriage.
  • A separation agreement is a contractual arrangement between the husband and wife, which settles all of the issues relative to the marriage and can later be converted into a divorce action if either of the parties so chooses. However, a legal separation does not seek termination of the marriage, but rather allows one spouse to live separate and apart from the other, and at the same time resolves all the issues.

The Center for Principled Family Advocacy

I loved working with Heather. I was going through a divorce after a thirty year marriage and I was scared and confused. I initially had another lawyer that was scattered and never got back to me when I had questions. Someone referred me to Heather and from the first conversation I felt safe and heard. She was there for me every step of the way, answering my questions in a logical caring way.

I love the way she gets things done and doesn’t mess around dragging things out. When I had to have meetings with ex husband and his lawyer she impressed me with her strength and knowledge. She was there for me. I would recommend Heather to everyone I care about. And in the future if I need advice she is the one I will turn to.
