Divorce/Dissolution

When you have decided to end your marriage or if you've been served with a divorce complaint, it's not uncommon to have a lot of uncertainty about how to proceed. You want an attorney who will help you understand your rights, fully explain your options, and provide you with an honest assessment of the likely outcome of your case.

At the law offices of James E. Brightbill, in Akron, we are available to answer your questions and provide you with sound legal advice about the divorce process. We understand the anxiety that comes from not knowing what will happen and we work hard to make certain that you are regularly informed about the status of your case. Contact our office for a free 30 minute consultation.

We work with men and women at all stages of a divorce, from the initial filing through negotiated settlements or trial, as well as post-judgment requests for enforcement or modification of existing divorce decrees. We handle all matters related to or arising out of a divorce, including:

• Child custody and visitation. We will help you establish custody and visitation arrangements that are in the best interests of your children while protecting your rights as a parent. See our child custody and visitation page for more information.
  
• Child support and alimony. We will help you make certain that the Ohio child support guidelines are followed. We will also help you determine whether alimony is appropriate and, if so, the amount, frequency and duration of payments. For more information, see our support and alimony page.
  
• The division of marital assets. We will help you equitably divide all marital debts and assets, including real property, investments, retirement plans and business assets.
