How It Works

We are a reliable paperwork preparation service for agreed-upon, no-fault offline and online divorce in Ohio. The dissolution of marriage in Ohio is a process initiated by both spouses when they agree on the divorce terms and joint filing.

It is usually much cheaper and takes less time to be finalized than contested or fault-based cases. Apart from that, couples do not necessarily need to hire a lawyer to cope with the process.

Not having a lawyer doesn’t, however, mean that you are in this on your own. Our service will be glad to help you prepare for your divorce by providing you with the required filled-out forms and a step-by-step filing guide. You can then file in person or online without having to hire a lawyer.

To file for divorce in Ohio, complete the following 3 steps:


Requirements for an Uncontested Divorce in Ohio

Filing Requirements

If spouses file jointly, they must complete and sign the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage and Waiver of Service of Summons form together and file it and other forms with the court in person or online. They may file in the county where either of them lives.

Residency Requirements

The spouse initiating the case must have lived in Ohio for at least 6 months prior to filing the Petition. Additionally, the plaintiff must meet the 90-day residency requirement of the county where the filing will be done.

Waiting Period

The minimal waiting period during the dissolution of marriage, when spouses file together, is 30 days after initiating the action. The court may schedule the hearing not earlier than 30 days and not later than 90 days after the Petition is filed.

Complete Your Divorce Papers Online

To get the filled-out forms for your uncontested, no-fault divorce, you will need to complete a comprehensive questionnaire on our website, specifying information about your divorce. The system will select the right forms and fill them out with the information provided based on your answers.

What if We Have Children?

Yet, you must be sure you have settled all the disputes concerning your kids. Some of the things to consider when filing for divorce with children are:

  • In Ohio, parents can be awarded sole or joint legal and physical custody. Even if spouses share custody, it doesn’t mean the child will spend an equal amount of time with each of them.
  • The judge determines custody based on the child’s best interests. Aspects considered while making this decision include the wishes of all parties, the child’s relationships with parents and adjustments to home and school, the mental and physical health of all parties, the parents’ contribution to the child’s upbringing, etc.
  • If the judge intends to grant joint custody, they will consider the parents’ ability and readiness to cooperate and encourage the contact of the child with the other parent, any history of abuse or neglect, how close each party lives to each other, etc.
  • Child support is determined based on the Ohio child support guidelines and can be estimated using a Child Support Calculator.
  • The divorcees will most likely have to attend a parenting class that will allow them to understand how they can help their kids deal with the divorce.
