Frequently Asked Questions
What are the grounds for divorce in Ohio?
Ohio allows both no-fault and fault based divorces. The no-fault ground is incompatibility after six months of separation. Fault grounds include adultery, extreme cruelty, and willful absence for one year.
How long does a divorce take in Newark Ohio?
A simple uncontested divorce in Ohio can be finalized in 30 to 90 days. Contested divorces often take 6 to 12 months or longer depending on court schedules and case complexity. Licking County Common Pleas Court handles all divorce filings.
How is property divided in an Ohio divorce?
Ohio follows equitable distribution law. The court divides marital property fairly but not necessarily equally. Separate property owned before marriage or received as a gift is generally not divided. The court considers factors like each spouses income and contributions.
