Getting a Dissolution of Marriage in Ohio

Dissolution of marriage requires that both spouses agree to all of the major issues related to the end of their marriage — matters like child support, child custody and alimony — all put in writing in a document known as a separation agreement. That agreement is submitted to the court with a petition for dissolution when the spouses ask the court to dissolve their marriage.

Ohio courts require that 30 days pass. Then, the couple may come to court and testify under oath about the accuracy of the petition. The court will then usually grant dissolution of marriage.

Dissolution of marriage can be an extremely beneficial method to dissolve a marriage when the couple seeks to resolve the divorce quickly, cost-effectively and confidentially. Couples with significant assets or income also benefit from the confidentiality of a high asset dissolution [Link to high asset dissolution].

Columbus and Dublin, Ohio, Uncontested Divorce Attorneys

Dissolution can be the simplest, most respectful, way to end a marriage. However, sometimes a spouse does not want to agree on all the issues. In other cases, both spouses agree, but cannot proceed with a dissolution because one spouse cannot appear in court. This is frequently the case if one spouse has already moved away. In those cases, seeking an uncontested divorce is often a better solution. Only one party must appear in court in an uncontested divorce.

Cases can always be converted from divorce proceedings to dissolution actions when the agreement of both parties becomes possible through effective negotiations. Our Columbus and Dublin, Ohio, uncontested divorce lawyers can guide you through the legal process.
