Divorce Custody and Support
Perhaps the most devastating issues my clients face, is the end of a marriage.
They come to my office with feelings of failure, anger and hopelessness.
The only thing that could possibly make divorce worse is unnecessary
venomous litigation. My role as a counselor is often separating real
issues from the emotional and destructive activities that may
unnecessarily befall divorce litigants.
CHILDREN
can be the innocent victims of parental squabbles. Even though divorce
may be necessary, it need not harm children. Parents are advised to adjust
their lives regarding parenting, and if they do, the children can have a
life full of quality time with both parents. Absent abuse or violence
it is usually advisable to develop a plan for both
parents
to share in the parenting responsibilities and enjoyment of
companionship with their children.

SUPPORT
We all
know children need support. Basic support calculations are calculated
using a uniform method ORC 3113.21.5
When a
marriage has ended, either spouse may be entitled to support for a
period of years, to equalize the burden caused by the marital break up.
Support is calculated on a case by case basis, based upon fairness.
