Every family faces unique challenges, and every family law cases requires a unique approach. From day one, our firm will identify the best course of action for you and your family and guide you through the entire family law process.

In every family law and divorce case we handle, our goal is to reach a conclusion that works for all parties involved. Because litigation can be costly and time-consuming, we will try to reach a resolution without going to court. However, since there are times when that is simply not possible, we prepare to litigate your case from day one. Here are examples of some of the family law cases we handle:

• Divorce: If you are thinking about a divorce, you want to contact an attorney to make sure you rights are protected. From your marital property settlement to the future of your children, with the help of an attorney, you will achieve better results in the long run.


• Child Support: In Ohio, child support is determined by a statute. We have experience helping both husbands and wives in these matters. We will make sure your child support plan is an accurate reflection of your financial situation.


• Child Custody/Allocation of Parental Rights and Responsibilities: We represent divorcing parents, parents who have never been married, and individuals seeking custody when parents have been convicted of abuse in child custody cases. Working out parenting plans and visitation plans as well, our first concern is the best interest of the children in question.


• Adoption: We handle step-parent and grandparent adoption cases for clients.


• Modifications: If there has been a major change in your financial or living situation, we can help you obtain a modification of your child custody, child support, or spousal support orders.


• Spousal Support: We have experience handling both husbands and wives in divorce cases that involved alimony or spousal support.


• Grandparent Rights: Every family is different. Ohio laws have recently recognized the limited rights of grandparents and their grandchildren. Protection of the child is always a priority. It is important to know your rights before making any decisions about your family.


• Abuse and Neglect Dependency and Defense: If you are found guilty of abuse or neglect in juvenile court, it can have a devastating effect on your parental rights, up to and including your right to custody of your child. Do not plead guilty. Get help.

We believe it is important for our clients to realize that the determination of child custody, child visitation, and child support are independent of each other.
