Addressing Every Element Of Your Divorce
Divorce cases may involve several important elements, including:
- Division of property and assets
- Child custody and visitation

Protecting Your Interests In High-Asset Divorce

- Interpreting, applying, challenging or defending prenuptial agreements as they apply to divorce
- Distinguishing marital from separate property
- Obtaining thorough and accurate valuations of assets such as business interests
We understand the importance of protecting your assets and financial interests. We are well-equipped to manage the complexities of your high-asset divorce case with precision and care.
How Is Marital Property Divided During A Divorce In Ohio?
Marital property is divided according to the equitable distribution standard. This means that the court will aim for a fair division, though not necessarily an equal one. The court considers several factors, including the length of the marriage, the assets and liabilities of each spouse, and the economic circumstances of each party.
What Options Are Available For Resolving Divorce Disputes Outside Of Court?
There are several options for resolving divorce disputes without going to court, which can save time and reduce stress. Mediation is a popular choice. It involves a neutral third party who helps the couple negotiate agreements on issues such as custody and asset division. We are committed to helping you find the best resolution method for your situation and can represent you in mediation, negotiation or litigation.
