A divorce case for Wadsworth residents would start in the Medina Domestic Relations Court, 99 Public Square, Medina, Ohio 44256. The matter starts with the filing of a complaint, accompanied by a number of affidavits, often including a request for temporary orders. The Medina County Domestic Relations Court usually initially decides temporary orders based upon a fourteen day notice and response period, but may also set the matter for hearing. A case management hearing is usually held on its own or at the same time as the temporary orders hearing. The attorneys tell the court about the potential issues in the case at case management hearing. The magistrate uses the information from the attorneys when issuing an order scheduling discovery deadlines, the pretrial and final hearing, as more complex issues may result in the final hearing being set further out. While many cases reach a settlement at the pretrial or trial, some proceed to an evidentiary hearing at the final hearing. The final hearings in Medina County Domestic Relations Court are usually set before the judge.
