  • How much does a divorce cost in Ohio?

    The cost varies widely depending on whether the divorce is contested or uncontested, how many issues (like property, custody, or support) need to be resolved, and whether both parties agree. Costs can include court filing fees, attorney fees, mediation costs, and other related expenses.

    • Uncontested divorces (where both spouses agree) are usually less expensive.
    • Contested divorces (where disputes go to court) can be significantly more costly.
  • How long does a divorce take in Ohio?

    Expect anywhere from a few months to a couple of years, depending on the complexity and cooperation involved:

    • Without children (uncontested or less complex): Typically 4 to 12 months.
    • With children or more complexity: Can extend up to 2 years.
    • Contested divorces: Often take 12 to 18 months from start to finish.
  • What questions should you ask a divorce lawyer in your initial consultation?

    Sample questions include:

    • What’s your experience with divorce cases, especially ones like mine?
    • Do you focus on contested or uncontested cases? What’s your style (mediation, litigation, etc.)?
    • What are the steps in the divorce process in Ohio?
    • How long do you expect my case to take?
    • How often will we communicate, and by what method?
    • What issues do you anticipate could be contested in my case?
    • What results are typical in cases like mine?
    • What temporary orders can I expect, and what is a realistic long-term outcome?
    • What kind of outcome might I expect for custody or support based on similar cases?
