Summary of Ohio Separation Law |
|
|
|
The term “separation” may refer to either an informal separation or a “legal separation.” In Ohio, neither an informal separation nor a legal separation is necessary if spouses are planning on divorcing.
Legal Separation in Ohio is a civil lawsuit that does not legally terminate the parties' marriage in the same way that a divorce would. In a legal separation suit, orders concerning property division, spousal support, child support, and allocation of parental rights and responsibilities (custody and visitation) could be issued in the same way in a divorce action. A husband and wife cannot, by any contract with each other, alter their legal marital relations, except that they may agree to an immediate separation and make provisions for the support of either of them and their children during the separation.
Legal separation (as opposed to informal separation) is typically undertaken instead of a divorce. Reasons for obtaining a legal separation include spouses wishing to avoid divorce for religious reasons and spouses wanting to maintain insurance coverage.
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.
