A divorce is a court proceeding which seeks to terminate a marriage contract between two people when grounds for divorce are present.
The
Ohio Revised Code sets forth the grounds for divorce. Divorce typically involves issues when spouses disagree.
If the parties cannot agree, the Court makes the final decision regarding issues such as property division, spousal support, debt allocation, custody, and child support.
Attorney Piszczek considers children to be the most important consideration in a family law action.
The Court generally encourages the parties to reach an agreement regarding the parenting of the children.
However, often an agreement is not possible and litigation is necessary. If the parties can not agree, the Court makes a determination regarding the allocation of parental rights and responsibilities of the children after taking into account the best interest of children.

Shared Parenting may or may not be appropriate depending on the circumstances. This should also be discussed in detail with the attorney.
