Divorce
Divorce is the contested process by which parties terminate their marriage. Parties vary in their reasons for divorce, but it only takes one party asking for a divorce to get divorced. Regardless of your reason, we can assist you in the process.
Establishing Parental Rights
Unfortunately, Ohio's fathers have no rights to their children, if they were not married to the mother at the time of the child's birth.
These fathers must file a Petition for Allocation of Parental Rights to formally establish their right to parenting time, school records access, and medical records access.

Custody & Abuse, Neglect, and Dependency cases
Parents may disagree as to what is in the best interest of their minor children; however, Ohio law provides guidance for the resolution of those conflicts by allocating custody to one parent. The battle for custody should never be taken lightly, and should always rely upon an experienced attorney.
Shared Parenting
Shared parenting is the alternative to Custody. It's designed for parties who communicate well and agree to share in the decision making responsibilities when it comes to their minor children.
