We cannot represent both parties in a divorce or dissolution case. Nor should any attorney licensed to practice in the State of Ohio represent both parties in a divorce or dissolution. If you and your spouse have agreed upon all matters related to the divorce, it may be possible for us to draft all of the legal paperwork, but we will only represent one party.
Your spouse can choose not to
hire a lawyer. For example, if you have been
married for only a few years and you and your
spouse have resolved all of the issues to the satisfaction of both,
you may come to our office, have the paperwork drafted and sent to
your spouse on your behalf. Your spouse can then make a decision to
sit down with an attorney and review the paperwork or they can decide
he or she is agreement with the terms of the paperwork to proceed
without an attorney.
