The Youngstown, Ohio, law firm of Betras, Maruca, Kopp, & Harshman, LLC includes a successful and energetic family law practice. We provide efficient and effective legal representation in a wide range of family law matters — from a basic uncontested marriage dissolution to a complex divorce involving multiple properties and conflicts over child support and child custody.
Getting an Uncontested Divorce in Ohio
When both spouses agree to divorce, it is called an uncontested divorce. Sometimes, an uncontested divorce is also known as a marriage dissolution. The divorce process can be relatively straightforward when both spouses agree to end the marriage, but it is still important to get separate legal advice from an experienced divorce lawyer to make sure you and your spouse have thought through all the potential issues that may arise as you plan to end the marriage.
Advanced Litigation Skills for Complex Divorce Cases
Our family law attorneys excel at representing husbands or wives in complex divorce cases:
- Valuation and distribution of a family business
- Multiple real estate holdings
- Complex parenting issues, such as demands for sole custody or charges of parental abuse and neglect
- Privacy issues in divorce cases
We have the experience and resources to benefit our clients in such complex divorce cases. We have professional investigators on staff who will work with your divorce lawyer to track down financial information and gather data regarding your ex-spouse's past and current habits.
Mediation in Divorce Cases
All of the family law attorneys at Betras, Maruca, Kopp, & Harshman, LLC have advanced experience with alternative dispute resolution processes such as mediation and conciliation. We are well-qualified to help our clients decide when mediation may help conclude a divorce more efficiently.
