The decision to file for divorce is never an easy one. In Ohio, the court system has complex rules and regulations that must be followed when filing for a divorce. From child custody to spousal support, knowing what to expect ahead of time can help ease some of the stress associated with the process. Here are a few key facts you should know about divorcing in Ohio.

Understanding Child Custody in Ohio

The court will always look at what is best for the child when determining child custody arrangements. Both parents are generally given equal consideration when it comes to physical and legal custody. However, if one parent is deemed unfit or unable to care for the child, then the other parent may be awarded sole custody. 

In cases where both parents have an equal say in matters affecting the child’s welfare, they will need to come up with a parenting plan that covers all aspects of their children’s lives (including education, religion, and medical care). This plan should be approved by the court before it goes into effect. 
Calculating Spousal Support in Ohio

In most cases, calculating spousal support payments is based on a formula set forth by Ohio law. This formula takes into account factors such as each spouse’s income and assets, length of marriage and any other relevant information. It is important to note that spousal support is not guaranteed; courts may decide that neither spouse needs or deserves financial assistance from the other after a divorce. The only exception would be if one spouse was found guilty of adultery or other marital misconduct during their marriage.
