Divorce Vs Dissolution Explained

Summary

Dissolution and divorce are not the same in Ohio. In a dissolution, assets are divided equitably, not equally, and factors such as each spouses contributions and the duration of the marriage are considered. Spousal support is determined by factors like income, health, age, and the length of the marriage. Hiding assets, including a 401k, during dissolution is illegal and can lead to penalties. Social Security Income is considered separate property and usually cannot be divided in a dissolution, but it can affect spousal support calculations. A spouse may be entitled to a portion of the others Social Security retirement benefits if they were married for at least 10 years. A 401k is typically considered a marital asset and can be divided between spouses during a dissolution. Alimony is determined by various factors and is not a fixed percentage of income.
