Legal Separation Attorney in Columbus

Proof

A legal separation is a court order where the married couple remains married but lives separate and apart. While the court order does not legally end the marriage, it does allow the court to issue orders in regard to the marital property division, the allocation of parental rights and responsibilities, spousal and child support. There are many different reasons why a couple may choose to legal separation rather than ending their marriage in dissolution or divorce. Some of these reasons for continuing the marriage but legally separating include assurance that life insurance, health insurance, and retirement benefits continue as intended.

Other Practice Areas:

When an agreement is reached, the couples present the written settlement in court together with a petition to dissolve the marriage. The court will hold a hearing within 30 to 90 days after filing, where both parties must appear in court and testify that “you voluntarily entered into the separation agreement; are satisfied with its terms; made full disclosure of assets and liabilities; and, are seeking dissolution of the marriage.” The court must then approve the agreement.
Remember, if either party decides to contest one or more issues during the process, it is legally right in Ohio to apply and convert the dissolution to a divorce complaint. Similarly, if you filed for a divorce and later settled all issues, you can also apply to convert the divorce to a dissolution.
