Divorce Options in Dayton, OH
Helping You Understand the Different Types of Divorce
There is no easy way to end a marriage, but there is a way to protect your best interests. When you contact Fox & Associates Co., L.P.A., our attorneys listen to your concerns regarding the division of property, your own financial needs, and worries and issues surrounding your children. Then, we discuss the options that are available to you under Ohio divorce law.
Types of Divorce in Ohio
As your divorce lawyer, it’s our job to inform you of the courses of action that are available and help you make a choice that will work for you and your children. In Ohio, you may obtain a divorce based on certain grounds or legal reasons.
Grounds for divorce include:
- Fault divorce: Bigamy, adultery, willful absence of a spouse for at least one year, fraudulent contract, cruelty, negligence of duty, or imprisonment.
- No-fault divorce: Incompatibility or living separately and apart for one year or more.
Dissolution of Marriage
If you and your spouse are able to reach an agreement on the terms of ending your marriage — including division of property, child support, custody, visitation, and alimony — dissolution is a workable choice which is generally less stressful for you and your family. It is often less costly than a traditional divorce but it requires that both parties are in agreement.
Military Divorce
Grounds for a military divorce are the same as those for a civilian divorce, but federal laws — such as the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act (SSCRA) and the Uniformed Services Former Spouses’ Protection Act (USFPA) — are in place to protect active-duty military personnel who are unable to respond to a divorce action. If you are seeking a military divorce or are being served with divorce papers, the lawyers at Fox & Associates Co., L.P.A. can help you.
