Grounds for Divorce in Ohio |
|
|
|
“Grounds for divorce” are the legal reasons for a divorce. Ohio recognizes both fault and no fault grounds for divorce.
A “no fault” divorce is simply a divorce for which it is not necessary to prove that there was any fault or wrongdoing by either spouse. In Ohio, a court may grant a no-fault divorce upon a showing: (1) that husband and wife have, without interruption for one year, lived separate and apart without cohabitation, or (2) of incompatibility, unless denied by either party.
Ohio also has fault ground for divorce. Situations where a divorce may be filed under fault grounds include:
- • Bigamy
- • Willful absence of the adverse party for one year
- • Adultery
- • Extreme cruelty
- • Fraudulent contract (that is, one spouse used fraud to induce marriage)
- • Any gross neglect of duty
- • Habitual drunkenness
- • Imprisonment of the non-filing spouse in a state or federal correctional institution at the time of filing the complaint
- • Procurement of a divorce outside this state, by a husband or wife, by virtue of which the party who procured it is released from the obligations of the marriage, while those obligations remain binding upon the other party. (Ohio Code - Sections: 3105.01)
To fully understand divorce law and family law, it may be necessary to read and interpret statutes with case law and regulatory law. It is important to check to see if laws are up date. For these and other reasons, it is always best to consult with a qualified family law attorney.
