The Family Law Process

Family law cases involve a family law attorney filing a petition and serving a secondary party, followed by the receipt of a response, an exchange of information, settlement discussions, hearings, and potentially a trial. Temporary orders may be imposed by the court prior to final judgement, pertaining to issues like custody, visitation, property, or alimony.

Many family cases can be resolved without trial through mediation, where both parties who have access to financial records, documents, and other evidence can review possible resolutions to come to a mutually agreeable conclusion. Our experienced family law attorneys in Lancaster can review the details of your case and provide guidance every step of the way to work toward a satisfactory outcome.

Child custody and visitation are common phrases used to describe the legal assignment of responsibility and rights related to the care of a child. In Ohio, these are often combined into a single concept known as parenting time, with the court’s focus on frequent and continuing contact for both parents while keeping the best interest of the child first. Dagger Law’s family law attorneys help parents and grandparents throughout Lancaster and Central Ohio work through custody, visitation, and parenting-time matters.
