Summary
In Ohio, marital property is divided equitably, meaning not necessarily equally. A spouse may be entitled to a share of the home equity acquired during the marriage, even if not on the title or loan. The division of cars may consider financial capabilities and necessity. Alimony is possible due to income disparity, but exact amounts vary. Child support is calculated based on Ohio Child Support Guidelines, considering income and custody arrangements. Adultery might affect alimony decisions but typically not child support. To improve odds in court, gather financial documents, document contributions to the home and children, and consult a family law attorney. Additional preparation includes organizing communication records, creating a budget, gathering evidence, building a support network, and ensuring emotional readiness for court proceedings.Full Conversation
