Frequently Asked Questions About Family Law in Aurora, Ohio
Can my spouse and I use dissolution instead of divorce?
Dissolution may be available when both spouses agree on every issue, including property, debts, support, and parenting matters, before filing a joint petition.
Where are divorce cases for Aurora residents filed?
Aurora is located in Portage County. When applicable residency and jurisdiction requirements are met, divorce and dissolution cases may be filed through the Portage County Domestic Relations Court.
Does shared parenting require a 50-50 schedule?
No. Shared parenting concerns the allocation of parental rights and responsibilities under an approved plan. Parenting time does not have to be divided exactly equally.
What happens if parents cannot agree on custody?
When the parents cannot agree, the court may evaluate evidence and determine an arrangement based on the child’s best interests and the applicable Ohio legal standards.
Can I ask to change an old custody or parenting-time order?
A party may request a modification, but the required legal standard depends on what part of the prior order is being changed and the circumstances supporting the request.
How is child support determined?
Child support generally begins with Ohio’s statutory calculation and financial information, although additional factors, deviations, healthcare costs, childcare, and parenting circumstances may affect the final order.
Is spousal support awarded in every divorce?
No. The availability, amount, and duration of spousal support depend on the circumstances and factors established by Ohio law.
Should I sign a separation agreement before an attorney reviews it?
Because a separation agreement may determine important rights concerning property, support, debts, and children, legal review before signing can help you understand its long-term effect.
