Divorce

Ohio Divorce.

If you are living in the state of Ohio and want to file for divorce, the rule of the state is that you must live and be a resident of the state of Ohio for least six months, before you can file for a divorce there.  If both of you agree on the divorce, then you can get a divorce by stating that you both are not able to live with each other, that you are incompatible, and that the marriage is beyond repair.  If either one of you do not agree with the divorce then there are grounds for the divorce in Ohio that must be proved. So here is a list of those grounds for divorce in Ohio. 
  1. If you and your spouse have lived separate for up to a year, then this is grounds for divorce, but remember this must be proved that you both have lived in separate households.
  2. Grounds for divorce are bigamy.
  3. If either of you have had an affair in the marriage, also referred to as adultery, this is grounds for divorce, but again you must have proof of this before divorcing.
  4. If there has been any fraud within the marriage, if your spouse is a fraud, then this is grounds for divorce.
  5. If there has been major neglect in the marriage, this is grounds for divorce.
  6. Drug addict or alcohol abuse is grounds for divorce, especially if you have tried to get your spouse help, and there still seems to be no hope for their addiction.
  7. If your spouse has been arrested and in prison, at the time that you went to file for divorce.
  8. If you have been married out of state, this will not release you from the Ohio rules on grounds for divorce.
 These are a highlight of the grounds of divorce in Ohio, If none of these can be proved and one of you do not agree on divorce, marriage counseling is always an option, on helping figure out the problem within the marriage. In Ohio the divorce process begins when either of the spouses files for a divorce, in the state of Ohio this is referred to as a Complaint and is filed with the Court of Common Pleas.  The other spouse will be filed with divorce papers and given a reasonable amount of time to respond to the divorce papers.  If everyone agrees on the divorce, debt division, property division, child custody, and child support, then the divorce papers will be changed to what is called a dissolution agreement, this kind of divorce can be finalized without going to a divorce trial.  If there is disagreement over the divorce then a trial date will be set for the divorce.
