Columbus, Central Ohio and Delaware County Dissolution Lawyers

There are many questions at the conclusion of a marriage. Many couples throughout central Ohio want to bring their marriage to an end in a spirit of cooperation, in the shortest timeframe, and with the lowest possible cost. If you are concerned about preventing a protracted and expensive legal battle and wish to discuss options for ending your marriage with dignity contact the experienced family law attorneys at the Lawrence Law Office.

Dissolution is an excellent option for Ohio couples wishing to end their marriage in the shortest period of time (sometimes 60 to 90 days), and with the least expense. In a dissolution, the couple must be in complete agreement on every issue including the distribution of assets (such as the family home), child custody and visitation (known in Ohio as "Parenting Time"), child and spousal support, the disposition of investment and retirement accounts, and the allocation of all marital debts. An attorney will represent one of the parties, and draft the "Separation Agreement" and any associated documents required to legally terminate the marriage. An experienced Lawrence Law Office dissolution attorney will document the intentions of the couple, and ensure that all issues are resolved legally and permanently.

A dissolution allows the couple to maintain the most control as they develop a solution which will work best for their unique circumstances and family needs. A dissolution avoids expensive legal battles, maintains the highest degree of privacy, and allows the couple to end their marriage in the shortest period of time possible. If there is an issue where the couple has significant differences, it is possible to resolve these challenges using mediation, or by choosing a formal collaborative law process.

Couples who successfully complete a dissolution usually maintain a stronger working relationship for the future. There can be much less stress on the couple, their children and the family assets can be preserved for more important requirements in the future (instead of depleting them in an expensive legal battle). A dissolution is an excellent option even if there is substantial wealth, business ownership, a professional practice, or special needs associated with the children.
