Sole custody or legal guardianship may sometimes be necessary if one of the parents is unable to provide a safe environment for the children. For example, if one parent engages in domestic violence, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, neglect, or another form of child abuse, it may not be a safe place for the child.

Ohio’s Adoption Modernization Act, signed into law in 2024 and effective in early 2025, updated several aspects of the adoption process. The Act expanded the types and amounts of expenses adoptive parents may cover for birth mothers, clarified procedural language in Ohio Revised Code Chapter 3107, and allows time a child spends living with a relative prior to a kinship adoption to count toward the six-month residency requirement.

When you and your spouse use a mediator, you have a greater chance of maintaining control over the final decision. You can ensure your voice is heard since a neutral third party will listen to both sides and help negotiate a decision. Many family law attorneys recommend mediation to prevent grudges and hard feelings that could last decades. Mediation also saves the family from a lengthy and expensive legal battle.

At Carpenter Family Law LLC, we know how important it is to have the parenting time you need. Our priority is always to ensure the child’s care is handled appropriately and that our clients get the parenting rights they deserve.

There is no legal definition for a high net worth divorce. However, dividing assets becomes more complicated the higher the net worth of the marital estate. Property division is already a challenging matter in any divorce, but with high-value assets, you and your ex may be in for a challenge when deciding who gets what when your marriage ends.

At Carpenter Family Law LLC, we have a clear understanding of the nuances of Ohio family law. We are also profoundly compassionate and are proud to work tirelessly for creative solutions in our divorce cases.
