The practice of family law involves a wide range of issues that are key to most people’s lives, including:

• Child Custody Solutions: Few legal cases are more emotionally charged, difficult, and impactful on your day to day life than those impacting how your children will be raised. There are many questions that need to be answered in a contested custody matter, whether part of a divorce, after the divorce, or between unmarried parents. Will the parents share custody, or will one parent make most of the decisions regarding the children? How will decision-making in key areas of the child’s life be handled? Are drugs or alcohol preventing the other parent from acting in the best interest of your children? Our Columbus and Central Ohio family law attorneys help provide answers and advocate for your vision of the best interest of your children in your child custody case.
• Ending Your Marriage: Divorce and Dissolution: How will you undo everything involved in your marriage and provide for the next stage of your life? Not only parenting and custody issues, but a married couples’ entire financial picture is tied directly to their marriage, and many of these assets will need to be divided in some manner. While Ohio law requires that each spouse be treated fairly, there is considerable flexibility given to the involved parties to define what fair actually is. All assets have to be properly valued and classified under Ohio law. This is a particularly unique challenge for high-asset couples. Regardless of income level, the team at KSR has the experience, knowledge, and resources to fight for a fair property division in the termination of your marriage, whether that comes by dissolution, contested divorce, or an agreed settlement.
• Prenuptial and Post-Nuptial Agreements: The state of Ohio permits couples to work out many of the issues that are settled in a divorce in advance of the marriage. As of March of 2023, the state of Ohio allows married couples to enter into post-nuptial agreements after their marriage as well. Having legal counsel that understands what can and can’t be included in these agreements gives the spouses a better chance of seeing the agreement enforced in court in the event of a divorce.
• Mediation Services for Family Disputes: There are times when negotiations between the spouses or parents break down. But before going to court, mediation offers an opportunity to get help from an experienced, neutral third party before going to court. Mediation offers many benefits that our Central Ohio family lawyers are happy to discuss with you.
