Divorce/Dissolution

Ohio Divorce Lawyers

People beginning the process of divorce have many questions. They want to know about their rights, what the process will entail, where they will live, how much money they will have, what their lifestyle will be, whether they can keep their business and how they will raise their children. At the Springboro, Ohio, law firm, John D. Smith Co., L.P.A., we answer these questions and many more. Our goal is to provide clients with the information they need to be active partners in the case.

Keeping Clients Focused and on Track

We represent men and women in all matters arising from divorce. Our principal attorney, John D. Smith, has been handling family law matters since 1980. He and our other lawyers use their knowledge and experience to help clients focus on the important issues, making sure people are not distracted by things they cannot control. We are thus able to keep the process on track, saving clients time, money and stress. We sometimes refer clients to trusted counselors so they can learn how to manage their concerns, anger and anxiety.

Children and Money

In most divorces, there are two issues of primary importance — children and money. Issues related to children come down to what will be in the best interests of the children. Our attorneys develop realistic strategies and proposals that focus on what is in your children's best interest.

Money is sometimes quite different. Cases involving significant assets, businesses or complex holdings can often be difficult to untangle. Our firm consults with forensic accountants and other financial specialists to form an accurate picture of the financial situation.

Issues In Divorce

We handle divorce-related issues such as these:

We also assist people with uncontested divorces, which are known in Ohio as marital dissolutions. These are cases in which the parties jointly plan to end their marriage and agree about the terms of the dissolution.

Collaborative Law

We offer clients the option of using collaborative law, a less adversarial, faster and often less expensive form of dispute resolution. Attorney John D. Smith is certified as a collaborative lawyer and is able to guide clients through the process.
