Ohio Divorce, Dissolution, Custody and Contempt Forms

June 30, 2013

Virginia Cornwell is an Ohio State Bar Association Certified Family Relations Specialist and an Ohio Family Law Attorney practicing in Columbus and most Ohio Counties.

OHIO DISSOLUTION FORMSEffective July 1, 2013, the Supreme Court of Ohio has adopted 23 new family law forms to assist attorneys and people representing themselves in family law cases.  These forms can be used in ANY county in Ohio, although local courts may require you to use their forms in ADDITION to the forms approved by the Supreme Court. The forms can be accessed as a PDF or in Word format by clicking the link below:

OHIO FAMILY LAW FORMS

OHIO CUSTODY FORMSCAUTION: You need to be sure you understand the meaning of the box you are checking or form you are selecting.  For instance, there are two forms with very similar titles but very different meanings.  The “Parenting Plan” form is for sole custody parenting arrangements and the “Shared Parenting Plan” is for shared parenting (similar to joint custody).

The forms are in a PDF format which does not appear to be fillable.  You will have to print out the pages you need.  The following forms are included in the new forms.

1) Complaint for Divorce Without Children
2) Complaint for Divorce With Children
3) Counterclaim for Divorce
4) Answer to Complaint for Divorce Without Children (and/or Reply to Counterclaim)
5) Answer to Complaint for Divorce With Children (and/or Reply to Counterclaim)
6) Final Judgment For Divorce Without Children
7) Final Judgment For Divorce With Children
8) Judgment Entry Converting Interest in Real Estate
9) Petition for Dissolution of Marriage (With Children or Without Children and Waiver of Service of Summons
10) Judgment Entry of Dissolution of Marriage (With Children or Without Children)
11) Separation Agreement
12) Shared Parenting Plan
13) Parenting Plan (Sole Custody to One Parent or Split Custody)
14) Parenting Judgment Entry (Sole Custody or Shared Parenting Decree)
15) Complaint for Parentage, Allocation of Parental Rights and Responsibilities (Custody) and Parenting Time (Companionship and Visitation)
16) Motion for Contempt and Affidavit
17) Show Cause Order, Notice and Instructions to the Clerk
18) Motion for Change of Parenting Time (Companionship and Visitation) and Memorandum in Support
19) Motion for Change of Parental Rights and Responsibilities (Custody) and Memorandum in Support
20)  Motion for Change of Child Support, Medical Support, Tax Exemption, or Other Child Related Expenses and Memorandum in Support
21)  Explanation of Health Care Bills (For Contempt)
22)  Waiver of Service of Summons
23)  Request for Service

The following forms were previously provided by the Supreme Court of Ohio (CLICK THE LINK FOR THE FORM YOU WANT):

24) Affidavit of Income and Expenses
25) Parenting Proceeding Affidavit
26) Health Insurance Affidavit
27) Property Disclosure Affidavit
28) Motion and Affidavit or Counteraffidavit for Temporary Orders Without Oral Hearing

Keep in mind, the forms do NOT give legal advice, and do not tell you which option is best for you.  Even if you cannot afford to hire an attorney to help you with your case, it might be worth your time and money to have a consultation with an attorney to discuss what the forms mean so that you can pick the options on the form that will be best for you.  Also, having the right form to file your case does not mean you have all you need to WIN your case if the other side does not agree to what you want.

Family Law Attorneys in Columbus Ohio FAQs

October 27, 2011

FAMILY LAW ATTORNEYS COLUMBUS OHIO

Q.  Where do you go to file a divorce in Columbus, Ohio (Franklin County)?  

If you have a Columbus, Ohio divorce attorney, your attorney will file the divorce for you.  If you are filing your own divorce, you will go to the Franklin County Court House, Clerk of Court, Domestic Relations Division, 373 S. High Street, Fourth Floor, Columbus, Ohio, 43215.  Click here to see a map of the area, and click here to get driving directions.

FAMILY LAW ATTORNEYS IN COLUMBUS PHONE NUMBERQ.  What is the phone number for the Franklin County Family Court?  What is the phone number for the court in Columbus Ohio that handles divorce, dissolution, annulment and legal separation?

You can find a phone listing for Columbus, Ohio divorce, dissolution, annulment and legal separation court by clicking HERE.  You should be warned though, that these phone numbers are NOT the phone numbers of people who can give you legal advice.  Only attorneys can give you legal advice.  If you want to know what the law is, if you have a case, if this is the right county or court to file your case in, how to prepare your legal papers, etc. – those things are all legal advice.  The employees at the court cannot and will not answer those questions – even if you have just one question.  Only an Ohio family law attorney or the law itself can legally answer those questions for you.

CALL NOW  at (614) 225-9316 or contact us by e-mail.

FAMILY LAW ATTORNEYS IN FRANKLIN COUNTYQ.  Where can I find a copy of Franklin County Ohio Local Rule 27.1 (Juvenile Court Rule 22.1)? 

You can get a copy of the entire Franklin County Ohio Domestic Relations Court Local Rules here.   If you only want to see Local Rule 27.1 /Local Rule 22.1, (black with a white background, difficult to print or copy/paste,) click here.  If you find that copy difficult to read or print, click the link to go to the page where you can download a copy of Franklin County Local Rule 27.1 posted on our website.

Columbus Ohio Local Rule 27Q.  I have Local Rule 27 visitation.  My weekend falls right before a holiday weekend that is supposed to be my holiday weekend?  Do I get to have my kids for my weekend AND the holiday?  What happens the weekend after the holiday?

Franklin County Local Rule 27 addresses problems like this in paragraph 5(a), which says:

In the event of a conflict between regular parenting time and holiday parenting time, holiday parenting time prevails.  The alternating weekend parenting time schedule continues, however, as if the holiday had not intervened.  This means that one parent may have the children three weekends in a row.  This process equalizes itself over the course of time for each parent.

This means that holiday parenting time trumps regular (non-holiday parenting time).  The weekend that is missed because of the holiday is not made up.  Over the course of two years, each parent should get the time that they should have.

CALL NOW  at (614) 225-9316 or contact us by e-mail.

FAMILY LAW ATTORNEYS COLUMBUS OHIO Q.  Who gets the children for Easter under Franklin County Local Rule 27? 

Franklin County Local Rule 27 does not specify which parent receives Easter.  If it falls at end of Spring Break, and there are no other orders which specify what happens to the Easter holiday, then the parent who has the child for Spring Break will also have the child for Easter.  Easter, like many religious holidays, are not provided for in Local Rule 27.  Columbus, Ohio families are very diverse, and not everybody celebrates the same holidays.

FAMILY LAW ATTORNEYS COLUMBUS OHIOFranklin County Juvenile Rule 22 / Local Rule 27 paragraph 5(c) has a blank line for “days of special meaning”.  This is where parents, if they agree, would write down the religious holidays and days of special meaning that the mother or father want to celebrate with the child, and how they shall be split between the parents.  So, whether your holiday is Chanukah, Easter, Kwanzaa or other holidays, if you want those holidays included in your order, it is up to you to either write those holidays in, or ask the court to include the holidays as part of your order.

CALL NOW  at (614) 225-9316 or contact us by e-mail.

COLUMBUS OHIO FAMILY LAW ATTORNEYQ.  Where can I find Franklin County Ohio Court Forms? 

The Clerk of Court’s office has SOME of the forms on the walls in their office.  You can also find forms on both the main Franklin County Court of Common Pleas website and the Franklin County Domestic Relations Court website.   The Supreme Court of Ohio has SOME domestic relations forms that can be used in any county in Ohio.  You can also find some samples of pleadings that you must prepare yourself on the Franklin County Ohio Law Library’s website.  You can also look on the FORMS page of our website .

Q.  I got a divorce in Franklin County, and I have since moved.  Do I have to file any forms to let the court and the Child Support Enforcement Agency know I have moved?  

YES.  Not only do you need to let them know, but you have to let them know using the form they prefer to use, otherwise you may not receive important notices.  To let the Franklin County Domestic Relations Court know you have moved, you need to file this form.  To let the Franklin County CSEA know you have moved, you need to send this form to them.  To look at more Franklin County CSEA child support forms, take a look at their forms page.

What is Ohio Family Law? Do I need a lawyer for my case?

October 22, 2011

Columbus Ohio Family Law Lawyer AttorneyFamily law is a term that is often misunderstood.  People sometimes think that a family law attorney is a lawyer that you hire when you want to sue your family.  In a way, that’s true, but family law does not cover every area that might involve litigation between you and your family.  Traditionally, family law includes areas of law that are covered when you marry someone or have a child with them.  Modern family law also includes non traditional families, same sex parents, relative and grandparent custody and more.

Columbus Ohio Family Law Attorney divorce custody lawyer

Family law is, for the most part, a matter of state law.  That is not to say there is no federal law regarding family law, but it is first, and foremost a matter for the states to decide.  Ohio Family Law is the sum of all the Ohio laws which deal with issues such as:

  • Abuse
  • Alimony (See Spousal Support)
  • Allocation of Parental Rights and Responsibilities
  • Annulment
  • Antenuptial agreements (see also prenuptial agreements) aka Prenup
  • Appeals
  • Child Support
  • Civil Protection Orders
  • Contempt
  • Change of Custody
  • Custody (see allocation of parental rights and responsibilities)
  • Dissolution
  • Divorce
  • Divorce in Ohio Series
  • Divorce and Business Owners
  • Divorce and Professional Practice Owners (Medical Practice, Legal, CPA, Artchitect, etc.)
  • Domestic Violence
  • Enforcement
  • Father’s Rights
  • Guardian ad Litem
  • Grandparent Rights
  • Hague Convention Cases
  • International Child Abduction (Kidnapping)
  • Interstate Child Support
  • Interstate Child Custody
  • Interstate Divorce
  • Interstate Jurisdiction (UCCJA, PKPA, UIFSA)
  • Jurisdiction
  • Juvenile Court
  • Legal Separation
  • Mother’s Rights
  • Military Divorce
  • Modify custody, visitation or shared parenting
  • Moving and relocation
  • Never Married Parents
  • Parentage
  • Parental Alienation
  • Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act (PKPA)
  • Parenting Time
  • Paternity
  • Post-decree proceedings
  • Prenuptial Agreements Aka Prenup
  • Relocation
  • Residential Parent
  • Restraining Orders
  • School Placement Parent
  • Separation Agreements
  • Separate Property
  • Shared Parenting (similar to joint custody)
  • Spousal Support
  • Stalking Protection Orders
  • Temporary Orders Affidavits
  • Temporary Order
  • Venue
  • Visitation
  • Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act (UCCJA)
  • Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA)
  • Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA)
  • Unmarried Parents

Ohio family law statutes are contained in the Ohio Revised Code.  The provisions of the Ohio Revised Code which are most relevant to family law are:

  • Title [31] XXXI DOMESTIC RELATIONS – CHILDREN
  • Title [21] XXI COURTS – PROBATE – JUVENILE, Chapter 2151: JUVENILE COURT

Sometimes federal laws are enacted to provide enforcement of family law matters, such as the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA).   When competing laws of different states are causing conflicts throughout the country, sometimes federal legislation is enacted to provide some predictability among state laws, such as matters of  Interstate Jurisdiction (UCCJA, PKPA, UIFSA), but federal regulation of family law matters is the exception, not the rule.  If you want to know what family law is in your state, start with state law.

If you have been served with papers in an Ohio family law, custody or divorce case, your first thought is probably “What does this mean?  What do I have to do?  Do I need a lawyer?”  There are very few situations where you are absolutely required to have a lawyer.  Most family law cases do not require you to have a lawyer in order to appear and defend your case.  Everyone has the right to defend themselves in court.  However, the question of “Do I need an attorney?”  is a very different question from “Can I afford not to have an attorney?”   Most of the time the law is complicated, and people without an attorney have a hard time presenting their evidence.  But if you know you cannot afford an attorney, then you should show up and let the court know you want to defend yourself.  If your case is one of the few situations where you are absolutely REQUIRED to have an attorney, the court will tell you.

You need the bad news and good news from your family law attorney

October 1, 2011

A good attorney must tell you the good and bad news Finding a good attorney for your family law needs can be a challenge.  Just as every attorney is unique, so is every client and every case. Almost every case has one or more weaknesses. Even if you are fortunate enough to have the rare situation where all of the law and all of the facts line up, that does not mean that you will be happy with the process, and the pace that things move through the courts.  Even if you have all the time in the world, you probably don’t have all the money in the world.

CALL NOW at (614) 225-9316 or contact us by e-mail.

Talk to a Fathers Attorney in OhioSo what’s the point we’re getting at?  Here it is, plain and simple –  almost every family law case has some bad news.  The only exception is a case where the parties all agree regarding what should happen, and they simply need an attorney to represent one of the parties, (it would be a conflict of interest for one attorney to represent all of the parties) draft the paperwork and get the court order or child support enforcement agency (CSEA) order they need.   When you meet with an attorney, if you aren’t hearing any bad news, and your case is contested, then maybe you need to discuss the matter a little more.  Your case is the sum of the good news and the bad news.  You should talk about both before you begin, and make a decision with an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of your case.  You cannot help your attorney with your case if you don’t understand the strengths and weaknesses.

How to choose a good custody lawyerYou may have a situation where your children’s life has become intolerable, but the financial cost and legal risk of going back to court seems unbearable too.  In that case, you need to sit down with an attorney that will answer your questions, in plain English, and give you the information you need to choose between a rock and a hard place.  A good attorney will give you that information, and then it’s up to you to take that information regarding the law, the discretion the court has in your situation, and work with your attorney to make the best decision.  At the end of the day, it’s your life, and you are going to have to live with it.

CALL NOW at (614) 225-9316 or contact us by e-mail.

How to choose a good attorneyBeyond just getting the straight skinny on the good and bad news, you need to pick an attorney that you can talk to, and one that talks to you.  Clients have a right to know what is going on in their case and be involved in the decisions.  If you feel like your attorney is not treating you with respect, you either need to discuss it with your attorney and solve the problem, or find another attorney.  If your family law attorney cannot treat other attorneys with some respect as well, then you are more likely to pay higher legal fees and less likely to achieve what you want without an expensive trial and the risk of letting a judge decide your case without your participation.  If your attorney’s approach is keeping you from settling your case, it might be time for you to deliver some bad news of your own.  If you’re concerned, talk to your attorney about it.

Find a good dissolution or custody attorney

Is every all or nothing with your lawyer?  Is that attitude coming from you as well?  That can be a risky and expensive approach.  Sometimes, with the help of your attorneys, you and the other party can agree on a few small issues, but the larger issues remain contested.  Guess what?  You can put on an Agreed Entry regarding the one or two things, and save both parties a bunch of money.  Guess what else?  Agreeing on little decisions often leads to agreeing on bigger decisions.  Maybe you do have some legitimate deal breakers, some issues that you cannot meet in the middle on.  You can still narrow down the issues.

CALL NOW at (614) 225-9316 or contact us by e-mail.

Negotiation and Mediation in Family LawFor example, perhaps you cannot agree who should pay child support or how much it should be.  That does not mean that you cannot stipulate regarding each party’s income, cost of health insurance or any other  issues that you have  investigated and have no legitimate dispute about.   Why not turn a five day trial into a one day trial and save both parties a ton of money?  Unfortunately, some attorneys cannot accept this approach.  If this is something that makes sense to you, but not to your family law or Ohio custody attorney, you may have a problem.  Perhaps you should have this discussion at your first meeting with your attorney to make sure that you see eye to eye on this issue.  It’s important, really important.
