Cincinnati Dissolution of Marriage Attorney

Batavia Divorce Lawyer

A dissolution of marriage is a divorce; what differs is the way in which you arrive at agreement on the issues of the divorce. A dissolution of marriage is an option if you and your former partner are in agreement on the issues of your divorce.

To learn more about the legal process of dissolution and whether this is an option for you, contact a Cincinnati dissolution of marriage attorney at the Law Practice of Timothy J. Deardorff. Call our family law firm today at 513-872-7900 and schedule a consultation.

Factors Involved in Dissolution of Marriage

In many cases, spouses who are considering divorce have reached agreement on a few issues, but they have a disagreement about other issues involving property division, child custody and visitation, or spousal support. By working with an experienced divorce lawyer they may be able to reach agreement using negotiation, the supportive process of collaborative divorce, or they may wind up in court and a judge will decide for them.

In a dissolution of marriage, the parties are in agreement about all of the issues of their divorce. (If you are not in full agreement, you may wish to work with a mediator or collaborative divorce attorney to iron out the last details.) With the help of a lawyer, a written agreement and a "petition for marriage dissolution" are prepared for the court. A hearing will be held before an Ohio family court judge, typically one to three months after the petition has been filed.

The end result of a dissolution of marriage proceeding is the same as the end result of a divorce ― your property will be divided, custody of your children will be decided, and financial support will be in place.
