Dissolution of Marriage in Ohio
Ohio law provides for a simplified procedure for termination of marriage that is referred to as a dissolution. If the parties agree to all terms, they may jointly file a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. A dissolution of marriage is a form of no fault termination of the marriage relationship where all issues including the division of marital property, spousal support, custody, parental rights and responsibilities, and child support have been resolved by agreement of the parties.
The Petition for Dissolution of Marriage must be signed by both parties and have attached a separation agreement providing for the division of property, spousal support, allocation of parental rights, visitation and custody, and child support. Both parties must appear before the court for one hearing. If the court is satisfied with the terms of the separation agreement, the court will grant the dissolution of marriage.
Basic steps for obtaining a Dissolution
- Filing of a Petition for Dissolution
This must be accompanied by all county court required documents as well as a separation agreement and a shared parenting plan if applicable
- Merits Hearing
One hearing is scheduled. This is a merits hearing. Both parties are required to be present. The hearing lasts 3-5 minutes. The parties must acknowledge their signatures on all agreements. They must affirm the agreements are fair and equitable and that all debts and assets have been disclosed.The Law Office of Loretta Marie Helfrich represents families in divorce and dissolution proceedings throughout the Cincinnati, Ohio metropolitan area, including Cincinnati, Batavia, Milford, Westchester, Mason and other communities in Hamilton County, Clermont County, Butler County, and Warren County.
