Divorce and Dissolution Attorneys in Columbus, Ohio
Ending a marriage can involve significant decisions about children, finances, property, support, and your future. An experienced divorce attorney in Columbus, Ohio can help you understand the legal process, evaluate your options, and protect your interests as you determine the best way to move forward.
Ohio provides different legal processes for divorce and dissolution. A dissolution generally requires spouses to reach an agreement on the major issues involved in ending their marriage, while a divorce may be necessary when disagreements remain that require resolution through the legal process.
Our Columbus divorce attorneys help clients navigate issues that may arise during divorce or dissolution, including child custody and parenting time, child support, spousal support, property and debt division, real estate, retirement accounts, and other financial considerations.
Agee Clymer works with clients to understand both the immediate and long-term implications of these decisions and develop an approach based on their circumstances, priorities, and goals.
Child Custody and Parenting Time in Ohio
Child custody and parenting-time matters can have a lasting impact on both parents and children. Our Columbus family law attorneys help parents understand their options and work toward arrangements that address their children’s needs while protecting their parental rights and responsibilities.
We assist with custody arrangements, shared parenting plans, parenting schedules, holiday schedules, relocation concerns, and disputes involving parenting time. We can also help clients understand their options when circumstances change and an existing custody or parenting-time arrangement may need to be modified.
Whether custody is being addressed as part of a divorce or as a separate family law matter, Agee Clymer provides practical guidance designed to help parents make informed decisions about their family’s future.
Child Support in Ohio
Child support can be an important consideration during divorce, dissolution, custody proceedings, and other family law matters involving children. Agee Clymer helps parents understand issues involving child support calculations, changes in income or circumstances, enforcement of existing obligations, and requests to modify existing support orders.
Our family law attorneys in Columbus can help clients understand how child support fits within their broader family law matter and what options may be available when financial or family circumstances change.
Spousal Support in Ohio
Spousal support can be an important financial consideration when a marriage ends. The circumstances surrounding each case are different, and questions about support can affect both immediate finances and long-term planning.
Our Columbus family law attorneys help clients understand issues involving spousal support, including when support may be considered, financial circumstances that may affect support, and concerns involving existing support obligations. We work with clients to understand how these issues fit within the broader financial picture of their divorce or dissolution.
Property and Debt Division During Divorce
Dividing property and financial obligations can be one of the most complex aspects of ending a marriage. Our Columbus divorce attorneys help clients address financial issues involving marital and separate property, real estate, retirement accounts, business interests, investments, debts, and other assets that may need to be considered during divorce or dissolution.
Agee Clymer helps clients understand the financial considerations involved in property division and works to protect their interests as they prepare for life after divorce.
Prenuptial Agreements
Prenuptial agreements can help couples establish clear expectations about finances, property, business interests, debt, and other financial matters before marriage. They may be particularly valuable for individuals entering marriage with significant assets, business ownership, inheritance considerations, or children from a previous relationship.
Our family lawyers in Columbus, Ohio help clients evaluate their goals and develop prenuptial agreements designed to provide greater clarity and financial protection before marriage.
Post-Decree Modifications and Enforcement
Family circumstances don’t stop changing after a divorce, dissolution, or custody order is finalized. Changes involving employment, income, relocation, parenting schedules, or a child’s needs may create new legal questions or require an existing arrangement to be revisited.
Agee Clymer’s Columbus family law attorneys help clients address post-decree matters involving custody and parenting-time modifications, child or spousal support, enforcement of existing orders, contempt concerns, and other disputes that may arise after an initial family law matter has concluded.

Divorce and Dissolution in Ohio
Divorce and dissolution both legally end a marriage in Ohio, but they involve different processes. Understanding those differences can help spouses determine which path may be appropriate for their circumstances.
Divorce & Dissolution
A dissolution generally requires spouses to reach an agreement on the major issues involved in ending their marriage before the matter is finalized. Those issues may include property and debt division, child custody and parenting time, child support, spousal support, and other financial considerations.
A divorce may be necessary when spouses cannot reach an agreement on one or more significant issues or when contested matters need to be resolved through the legal process. An experienced divorce attorney in Columbus, Ohio can help you understand the issues involved, evaluate your options, and develop a strategy based on your circumstances and priorities.
Our Columbus divorce attorneys help clients address matters involving:
- Property and asset division
- Child custody and parenting time
- Child support
- Spousal support
- Division of marital debts
- Retirement accounts and benefits
- Real estate and business interests
- Temporary orders
- Court deadlines and required filings
Not every divorce needs to become a courtroom battle. When spouses can reach agreements through negotiation, there may be opportunities to resolve issues without prolonged conflict. When an agreement cannot be reached, however, clients need an attorney prepared to advocate for their interests throughout the legal process.
Agee Clymer represents individuals throughout Columbus and Central Ohio facing divorce and dissolution, helping clients understand what comes next and make informed decisions about their family, finances, property, and future.
Child Custody and Parenting Time in Ohio
We assist parents with custody arrangements, parenting schedules, shared parenting plans, holiday schedules, relocation concerns, and disputes involving the best interests of the child.
Child Custody and Parenting Time
For parents, child custody and parenting time can be among the most emotional and consequential parts of a family law case. Whether custody is being addressed during a divorce or dissolution, through a separate custody matter, or as part of a modification to an existing order, the goal is to establish a workable arrangement that considers the child’s stability, safety, and long-term well-being.
Our Columbus family law attorneys help parents understand their rights, responsibilities, and options when addressing matters involving:
- Legal custody and decision-making authority
- Parenting schedules and parenting time
- Shared parenting plans
- Holiday and summer schedules
- School, medical, and extracurricular decisions
- Relocation issues
- Communication and decision-making between parents
- Grandparent and extended-family considerations
- Modification of existing custody orders
- Enforcement of parenting-time orders
Child custody disputes can become especially difficult when communication between parents has broken down, one parent wants to relocate, parents disagree about major decisions, or an existing court order no longer reflects the child’s or family’s circumstances.
Agee Clymer helps parents throughout Columbus and Central Ohio understand the legal process and work toward practical solutions while protecting their parental rights and keeping their children’s needs at the center of the matter.
Prenuptial Agreements in Ohio
A prenuptial agreement is not only for high-net-worth individuals. It can be a practical planning tool for couples who want greater financial clarity before marriage, particularly when either person owns significant property, has business interests, expects an inheritance, has children from a previous relationship, or is entering the marriage with substantial assets or debt.
Our family lawyers in Columbus, Ohio help clients understand how a prenuptial agreement may address important financial considerations, including:
- Property owned before marriage
- Business and ownership interests
- Retirement accounts and benefits
- Inheritance expectations
- Responsibility for existing and future debts
- Spousal support considerations
- Financial rights and responsibilities during marriage
- How certain property and financial matters may be handled if the marriage ends
Prenuptial agreements should be thoughtfully prepared and reviewed well before the wedding date. A rushed or poorly drafted agreement can create uncertainty or disputes later. Agee Clymer helps clients understand what a prenuptial agreement can and cannot address under Ohio law and works with them to develop an agreement based on their individual circumstances, assets, and goals.
Post-Decree Orders, Modifications, and Enforcement
A court order may resolve a family law case, but circumstances can change long after a divorce, dissolution, or custody matter is finalized. Job changes, relocation, remarriage, changes in income, health concerns, parenting challenges, or a child’s changing needs may make an existing order difficult or impractical to follow. In other situations, one party may fail to comply with the terms already established by the court.
Our Columbus family law attorneys help clients understand their options when an existing family court order needs to be modified, clarified, or enforced. Depending on the circumstances, post-decree matters may involve:
- Child custody modifications
- Parenting-time changes
- Child support modifications
- Spousal support modifications
- Contempt and enforcement
- Failure to pay court-ordered support
- Failure to follow parenting schedules
- Relocation after divorce or custody orders
- Clarification or enforcement of prior court orders
When circumstances have changed significantly, or another party is not complying with an existing order, legal guidance can help determine what options may be available. Agee Clymer helps individuals and families throughout Columbus and Central Ohio navigate post-decree family law matters and determine the appropriate next steps.
Why Columbus Families Choose Agee Clymer
Family law problems rarely affect just one part of life. A divorce may involve questions about finances, disability benefits, property, or employment.
