FAQ
A court will strive to reach an agreement that allows the non-disabled spouse to divorce while ensuring the disabled spouse is not left to struggle financially. When the divorce is amicable, it is not unusual for the ex-spouse to continue to offer emotional and financial support for the disabled spouse.
Navigating the Spousal Support Negotiation Process Effective communication is the cornerstone of any negotiation. Both spouses should openly discuss their financial situations, concerns, and expectations. Additionally, attempts to hide assets or other financial factors will end up working against you in court.
Usually, the court will not consider awarding spousal support unless the marriage lasted more than five years. Most courts do not award lifetime spousal support unless the marriage lasted more than 25 years. In cases involving longer marriages, there is a greater chance of income disparity between the spouses.
Yes. A spouse who's disability is permanent and makes them unable to get work that provides an adequate income for swlf-support may qualify for temporary or permanent alimony. Gender makes no difference.
Ohio isn't a community property state. Instead, Ohio follows what's known as the "equitable distribution" model for dividing assets and debts during a divorce. However, unlike many other states that use this model, Ohio requires judges to divide a couple's marital property equally, unless that would be unfair.
There is no specific formula in Ohio for calculating temporary support awards. The court must use its discretion, taking into account each spouse's earning capacity and other resources while the divorce is pending. The court should strive to maintain the financial status quo despite title or ownership.
In short , yes you can divorce a disabled person. If disability is part of the basis for divorce then you'll have to prove why this is the basis for the marriage to end. Additional Note: I have approached this question from a secular, legal argument position.
In a “no-fault” divorce, either spouse can seek to end the marriage if the parties have been “living separate and apart for one year without interruption and without cohabitation,” and if both spouses agree (or neither disputes) that they are incompatible.
While some jurisdictions will not allow an individual lacking capacity to file for divorce, others will permit it if a guardian/conservator can demonstrate that it's in the person's best interests. Certain states allow a guardian/ conservator, with court approval, to file on behalf of a ward, while others do not.
