- DivorceJenny Namanworth Smith offers years of divorce litigation experience and in-depth knowledge of Ohio divorce law to assist her clients in achieving the best possible results in contested and uncontested divorces.
- Child SupportIn Ohio, there are many circumstances when family law matters are determined in juvenile court. These legal proceedings typically involve parenting and child support issues concerning children who are born to biological parents who were never married to each other.
- Child Custody and VisitationIn the state of Ohio, a court may award visitation rights to a grandparent during or after a domestic relations or juvenile court proceeding as long as the grandparent has an interest in the welfare of the child and as long as visitation rights are necessary to the welfare of the child.
- AdoptionIn step parent adoptions, a new legal relationship is created between the adopting step-parent and the step-child. This new legal relationship gives the step-parent the same legal rights and responsibilities as if the child were born to the adopting parent. In contrast, the legal relationship that existed between the child and the biological parent is permanently terminated.
- Spousal SupportFurthermore, there is no set amount of money or mathematical calculation/equation to determine the amount of spousal support awarded. Again, there is no guarantee that alimony/spousal support may even be granted to a party when a divorce case is completed.
