CAN A MARRIAGE BE TERMINATED WITHOUT BEING CONTENTIOUS?

Yes! There is a procedure to end a marriage by agreement called a “dissolution of marriage”.

A dissolution of marriage is a procedure where spouses mutually agree to terminate the marriage. The grounds as to the reason why the marriage should be terminated are not required. A petition for dissolution marriage is jointly filed by the spouses, who have signed a separation agreement regarding the division of their assets and debts, child and spousal support issues, and parenting issues. The spouses can also agree upon a shared parenting plan for their children,

After a petition for dissolution marriage is filed with the Domestic Relations Court, a hearing shall be held no sooner than 30 days thereafter. Both spouses need to participate in the hearing and express their consent to their written agreement and request to terminate their marriage. If the Court is satisfied otherwise, the petition for dissolution marriage shall be granted, the spouses’ marriage shall be terminated, and the agreement of the spouses shall become an order of the Court.

PARENTING GUIDELINES AND SCHEDULES.

All of the local Domestic Relations and Juvenile Courts in Hamilton, Clermont, Warren and Butler Counties have standard parenting guidelines and schedules that serve as a starting point for allocating parenting time with the children between the parents. You can review your local county court’s parenting guidelines and schedules as a starting point. You may also search online for various parenting schedules to find one that may be suitable.

The courts have been recently implementing new parenting guidelines and schedules that provide for more equal parenting time with the children for the parents. One or both of the parents may submit their own parenting guideline and schedule for consideration by the other parent and the court.

The courts are required to choose a parenting schedule that is in the child's best interest, and recognize that the parents are the best individuals to choose which parenting schedule will meet the needs of the child to serve his or her best interest.

Do you have questions regarding parenting schedules or guidelines? Please call us at Bailey & Gunderson Co., L.P.A., with offices in Norwood and Western Hills. Phone: 513-631-0022.

POWERS OF ATTORNEY.

Do you have a Durable Power of Attorney? What about your spouse or your parents?

A Durable Power of Attorney is a legal document that grants another person the authority to act on your behalf. You may choose when the Durable Power of Attorney becomes operative, and what acts the person granted the authority may perform on your behalf.

A Durable Power of Attorney can become effective immediately upon signing, or may become effective only if you become incapacitated or incompetent in the future. A Durable Power of Attorney may allow another person to act on your behalf for a single event, such as the power to sell your real estate only. A Durable Power of Attorney may also allow another person to act on behalf to do any act you may legally do. Your attorney can guide you regarding what options will fit your needs.

If you do not have a Durable Power of Attorney, now is the time to obtain one. A Durable Power of Attorney cannot be granted by an individual who is incompetent. If the person who requires a Durable Power of Attorney is incompetent, the alternative is to seek a guardianship of that person through the Probate Court, which can be an expensive and time consuming process.
