Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

Re: regarding Answer and Affidavit Statement

If he does not want to come to court then you need to do an uncontested divorce. In other words, you file for the divorce, not a dissolution, and he does not answer and the Court will grant you the divorce without him having to appear.

The Court will insist on a financial disclosure for all parties who file pleadings in the action. This is so that the Court can ascertain the fairness of the separation agreement. Realistically, if the parties agree on the terms, the Court will also agree unless the terms are so onesided.
