Divorce can be a painful experience, especially when you and your spouse are unable to come to an agreement on the terms of your separation. At the law firm of Plymale & Dingus, our attorneys are here to guide you through the process with a focus on your individual goals.

Identifying the Issues That Need to Be Resolved
In Ohio, the divorce process is available for couples who are unable to resolve all issues between themselves. Common factors that make it difficult for two spouses to agree include:
- Differences over who should get what share of child custody
- Differences over how the marital property should be divided
- Differences over whether one spouse should pay child support or alimony
- Personal issues, such as adultery, that make it difficult to work together on a settlement
Divorce is also available when one spouse is located outside the state or country and therefore cannot participate in a dissolution hearing.
To file your divorce case, we will need to allege grounds for the divorce (generally not a problem under Ohio law). We will also want to seek temporary orders to put child custody, child support and spousal support orders in place while the divorce is ongoing.
Counseling You on Options and Strategies
Most people want to get the divorce process over as quickly as possible, regardless of the contested issues. We will work hard to protect your interests while seeking a prompt resolution of your divorce case through negotiations and litigation.
At every stage, we will explain what your options are and advise you on the consequences of those options so you can make informed decisions.
The legal standards that judges take into account when ruling on divorce cases are complex. Stories you have heard from other people who have gotten divorced may not be applicable to your particular situation. Contact us to discuss your case with an experienced lawyer.
