Hi, does anyone know details of how a divorce works in the State of Ohio, in Butler County? I'm not necessarily getting one, but I wanted to obtain all the info. I could "just in case." Basic overview, married 6 years, second for both, no children and he makes over 3 times what I do. Thanks much!

What specifically do you want to know about?
As far as property distribution, generally speaking, regardless of the fact that he made more money, you’re entitled to half of anything acquired *during* the marriage (with the exception of a few items, such inheritance) .
As far as spousal support, a couple of things to consider: (1) 6 years in not considered a long-term marriage. (2) if you don’t have any kids, there was no reason you couldn’t have gone to school, obtained some additional job skills (both of which would have increased your earning ability), etc. So, unless you in some way contributed to his current income ability (ie supporting him financially while he was in school), then don’t count on spousal support (if you do receive it, it will only be for a short time).
Discuss ALL the details of your situation with a local attorney for advice.

Call the clerk of the Butler County Superior Court and ask for a free, no-children, dissolution of marriage packet. The clerk will send you one, with full instructions, and you will be properly informed about the details of how a divorce works in Ohio.

If you want to do it the cheap way....... Call your local courthouse and find out when there will be a class on dissolution doing it yourself to go over the paperwork normally an attorney does this it's about a 2 hour class and cost's 10.00. They will give you all the forms and get them filled out and take them to the courthouse and file them 200.00 court cost are 50.00 or less. they will set date and then you both appear and it will be over that is only if you both can agree on everything.
If you both cant agree then you need to get an attorney it could cost you anywhere from 1,000.00 or more but you could ask for legal fees and court costs to be paid for by the other party.
Good luck!

A lawyer will give you all of the details. Ask around and find a good one. I know a couple names from the area to avoid. My best friend has been through 2 divorces in the same area. I think it took about 6 months total. Get out the checkbook...lol
Good luck, if you give me your e-mail I can forward those names. :)

nicely I relatively have examine your tale and experience which you droped the ball a protracted time in the past, you pronounced which you have been paying baby help consitently for 7 months what ensue to the different 8yrs and 5 months and have you ever been with out transportation and a job for that long? You have been in no way relatively in contact approximately your little ones only a thank you to stay away from going to penitentiary for non-help and that i arise with this end via in factor of actuality which you will purely count type for 7months of help. as far because of the fact the little ones bypass they actually dont know you, little ones dont know approximately baby help or they shouldn't know approximately that one and all they know approximately is the daddy and mom the individuals that are in there lives on a usual foundation the two via telephone, digital mail, letters. so which you may save it actual you haven't any longer felt like a father and you dont prefer some outdoors corporation permit you recognize to pay for the care of youngsters you dont care approximately and that's the backside line. Now for somebody that made the remark which you do no longer could pay baby help for little ones while you're no longer married to them, could carry out a little greater examine on how little ones are made no longer purely via married people it purely takes a egg and sperm no longer a marriage lincense, and likewise adult adult males get this right now baby help is for the care of the baby it would not state that if the mum gets married the daddy of that baby would not could pay help what you problably are questioning approximately would be spousal help so get it right now. And the guidelines would look unfair to adult adult males because of the fact until the guidelines have been created me could make the little ones and only get up and stroll a fashion and initiate there existence over and the female right now save the little ones and a few would be dealt with via the state, so because of the fact of all of which you have baby help,
