Clear as mud, right?  To understand the rule you have to break it down a little bit.

First, no divorce, annulment or legal separation can have it’s final hearing earlier than 42 days after the Defendant was served with the Complaint.

Second, if the Defendant filed a counterclaim, then the final hearing cannot be held earlier than 28 days after the service of the counterclaim.

This is the fastest that anyone can get a divorce, annulment or legal separation in Ohio.  You should know that unless both parties are cooperating, this is not a realistic timeframe.  Even if the parties are cooperating, there may need to be extra time factored in to accommodate the schedules of the parties, the court and the attorneys.
