Wadsworth Family Law FAQ

What is the difference between marital and separate property in Ohio?

Marital property generally includes all assets acquired during the marriage. Separate property includes assets owned before the marriage, inheritances, or specific gifts. Our team works to ensure your separate property is identified and excluded from the marital pool during asset division.

How is child custody determined in Medina County?

Courts determine custody based on the "best interests of the child." This involves evaluating parental roles, the child's adjustment to their home and school, and any history of conflict. We provide the "fierce advocacy" needed to present your case effectively to the court.

Can a permanent custody order be overturned?

Yes. If a trial court applies an incorrect legal standard, the order can be challenged. Our firm has a proven track record of successful appeals that have redefined legal custody standards in Ohio.

Why hire a local Wadsworth family law team?
