Divorce

Divorce Lawyer in New Albany and Columbus

Ohio gives you two ways to end a marriage. A dissolution works when you and your spouse already agree on property, debt, support, and parenting. A divorce is for when you don't agree, or when one of you needs a judge to decide. We'll tell you which one fits your situation at the first meeting.

Some divorces are simple. Others involve a business, retirement accounts, a house with little equity, or debt one spouse ran up alone. Amy practiced tax and bankruptcy law before focusing on family law, so she looks hard at what each asset is really worth and what it will cost you after the decree, not just how it gets split on paper.

What We Handle in a Divorce

Property and debt. We sort out what's marital and what's separate, then work toward a fair split of the house, retirement accounts, vehicles, any business, and the debt.

Spousal support. Whether support makes sense, how much, and for how long depends on factors Ohio law spells out, including the length of the marriage and each spouse's income and earning ability. We'll show you where you likely stand.

Children. If you have kids, the divorce also sets custody or shared parenting and child support. Those issues often matter most to our clients, and we treat them that way.

After the decree. Jobs change, people move, and sometimes the other side stops following the order. We handle modifications and contempt motions when that happens.

Why Clients Hire Us

You work directly with Amy. She has handled family law cases in Central Ohio courts since 2001, and she will tell you plainly what she thinks a judge is likely to do with your case.

We push hard when the other side won't be reasonable, and we look for a settlement when that gets you a better result for less money. Either way, you'll know where your case stands and what happens next.
