What Is a Contested Divorce?

A contested divorce is a divorce where you and your spouse are not able to agree on one or more of the terms of your divorce. In most cases, the contested issues in a divorce involve property division, child custody, or spousal support. When you and your spouse are unable to agree on these issues, the court will have to make the decisions for you.

Some of the most common contested issues in a divorce include:

Property division
Child custody
Child support
Spousal support
Visitation
Debt division

In Ohio, the court will require you and your spouse to go through mediation before making any decisions on your behalf. A mediator is a neutral third party who will help you and your spouse try to come to an agreement on the contested issues of your divorce. If you and your spouse are not able to agree, the court will make the decisions for you.

When the court makes decisions about your divorce, they will take many factors into consideration. They will look at the income and earning abilities of you and your spouse, the length of your marriage, the assets and debts you have, the health of you and your spouse, and the standard of living you enjoyed during your marriage.

The court will also take into consideration the best interests of your children when making decisions about child custody and visitation. The court will not take into consideration any fault in the divorce when making these decisions.
