Newark Legal Separation Lawyer

Licking County Legal Separation Attorney

Deciding whether to terminate a marriage through a divorce or dissolution, or just legally separate is an important decision in family law. Licking County family lawyer Carl McCoy can provide you with the information you need to make an informed choice.

Is Legal Separation Right For Me?

In Licking County, legal separation may be the best option under certain conditions such as:

  • Maintaining the health insurance in effect to cover pre-existing conditions
  • The couple does not meet Ohio's six-month residency requirement for filing a divorce, making a Licking County separation the only option until the residency requirement has been met.
  • The couple has personal or religious reasons that prevent them from getting a divorce

How Separation Becomes a Dissolution

Once a couple has obtained a Licking County legal separation agreement and has met all requirements, either party can file for a dissolution of marriage or divorce. The separation agreement can be incorporated into the final decree.
