In Ohio, there are two types of divorce: non-contested and contested. A non-contested divorce means while there are disagreements between a couple during the divorce process, the disputes do not always have to be resolved in court. Both spouses can work to reach an agreement without directly having to go to trial. Non-contested divorces also tend to be less expensive, move more quickly and usually reduce the amount of hostility and anger between the spouses during this stressful time.
A contested divorce in Dayton involves a higher amount of conflict between the couple, and it is the type of divorce in which both spouses are unable to come to an agreement on issues such as child custody and division of various assets. When a couple cannot agree on, or negotiate about, certain issues pertaining to their decision to divorce their case goes to court and the court will make the final decision on all issues.
Anne Catherine Harvey also deals with matters involving dissolution of marriage and
mediation in Dayton. Dissolution of marriage is different from a divorce in that when spouses decide they no longer wish to be married, they are given the option to-if they both agree-terminate their marriage completely. On the other hand, if a couple wishes to take a less severe approach, divorce mediation is always an option. During mediation, a husband and wife meet with each other and their appointed attorneys to come up with an agreement that meets both of their needs.
