CHILD CUSTODY
This is the most difficult issue of any divorce. Ohio law on this subject is large and allows the court to consider any relevant factor when determining the best interests of the minor child(ren). Because the law is so large and unclear, you need an experienced lawyer on your side to present your case to the court. At Levy & Clarke we put forward your best case for custody and will do our best to ensure the safety and well being of your children.
CHILD SUPPORT
In Ohio, child support is based on a wide range of factors. Income of the parties, expenses paid the spouses and, amount of time spent with the child(ren) can all be taken into account when a court makes its decision. You need an attorney to assist you so that the best interests of your child(ren) is met.
HOW LONG WILL MY DIVORCE TAKE
Each case is different because each case presents a unique set of challenges. Therefore, there is no set timetable for a divorce. There are several factors that can affect the amount of time it takes to resolve your case. The main factor in resolving a divorce is the amount of contention between the spouses as it pertains to child custody/support and division of assets. We know how efficiently navigate the courts so that your divorce does not take any longer that is absolutely necessary.
