Your Ohio Divorce

Mr. Dohner will explain the divorce process — his role and what to expect at each stage.  He offers sophisticated divorce planning to put clients on solid financial ground during and after relevant legal proceedings.

We handle all aspects of divorce, contested or uncontested:

• High-Asset Divorce — Mr. Dohner has extensive experience in divorces involving professional practices and business valuations, separate vs. joint property, and creative trade-offs to reach a settlement.
• Custody and Visitation — As courts are moving toward shared parenting, Mr. Dohner asserts your wishes and protects your child's best interests while helping to craft a workable solution.
• Interstate Custody — We provide local counsel to parents who live outside of Ohio and represent either party in petitions to relocate beyond Ohio with the kids.
• Child Support — We represent your interests in determination, modification, or enforcement of court-ordered support.
• Spousal Support — Mr. Dohner's familiarity with the tendencies of local courts can be a big advantage in this discretionary area of the law.
• Prenuptial Agreements — John Dohner carefully drafts or reviews premarital agreements to protect assets brought to a new marriage.
