Personal Bankruptcy
We handle all matters related to the filing of a Chapter 7 or a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. We will help you complete the means test to determine whether you qualify to file under Chapter 7. We will also review any proposed repayment agreements in a Chapter 13 filing. To learn more, see our bankruptcy page.
Divorce and Dissolution
We work with individuals at all phases of a divorce proceeding, from the decision to file to post-decree requests for modification or enforcement. We handle all matters arising out of a divorce, including child custody and visitation, child support, spousal support or alimony, and the division of debts and assets. See our divorce and dissolution page for more information.
Child Custody and Visitation
We will help you establish and implement custody and visitation arrangements that are in the best interests of your children while protecting your rights as a parent. We will examine all custody and parenting time proposals to ensure that they consider the health, education and social needs of your children. For more information, see our child custody and visitation page.
Child Support and Alimony
In Ohio, child support is determined by identifying the income of both parents and applying a formula found in the child support guidelines. We will make certain that support is correctly calculated and that all income is fairly considered. We will also petition the court on your behalf if circumstances call for an increase or decrease in support.
We will also help you determine if spousal support or alimony is warranted and, if so, the appropriate amount, frequency and duration of payments.
To learn more, see our support and alimony page.
