Board certified by Ohio Supreme Court in domestic relations and family law, attorney John Shryock has the experience, knowledge, and proven ability to represent clients throughout the divorce process.

  • Property division: Our attorneys have comprehensive understanding of Ohio property division standards in divorce. Recognizing what issues are considered by the court in property division awards better positions our attorneys in negotiating fair property settlement agreements in divorce.
  • Child custody and visitation: Allocation of parental rights and responsibilities is one of the most emotionally-charged disputes in divorce. Recognizing how delicate child custody issues can be, we are sensitive to our clients' concerns while we work to achieve a child custody and visitation arrangement that all parties can live with.
  • Alimony and child support: Financial support is an important concern for many people facing divorce. Alimony (spousal support) is needs-based and is decided on a case-by-case basis after a thorough consideration of a number of factors. Child support, however, is a right of the child and is determined in every custody case. We can explain the factors considered by the court in spousal support determinations and the acceptable deviations from Ohio child support guidelines.
  • Domestic violence: When a marriage comes to an end, allegations may arise of spousal or child abuse. In some cases, these claims are warranted and protection is necessary, other times, false claims of abuse are made to gain leverage in custody dispute. We get to the bottom of what really happened and preserve our clients' interests — whether that meets seeking a protective order or challenging temporary orders and false allegations.

Founded in 1979, we serve clients in the greater Cleveland area and throughout northeast Ohio. While we believe each divorce case requires a unique approach tailored to the needs of the family, we believe that solutions achieved out-of-court often produce more favorable results in a more cost-efficient manner. However, because we recognize that trial may be inevitable, we prepare each case from the onset for litigation.
