Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

Re: Divorce from another state

I am licensed in both Ohio and Florida. Typically, if he has been in Florida for that long, he can obtain a divorce there.

Regarding the inheritance, be advised that assets (and debts) are characterized as marital or non-marital property. Here, depending upon who ever left the inheritance, and what proof there is of their intent, you may be entitled to some.

An anullment is a religious result...perhaps you meant dissolution????

Call me and we'll talk.

Re: Divorce from another state

Whether or not your husband can obtain a divorce in Florida will depend on Florida's jurisdictional requirements. For example, to obtain a divorce in Ohio, a person must have been a resident of Ohio for 6 months, and a resident of the county in which he files for 90 days. It is possible that he will be able to obtain a Florida divorce, but you would need to consult with a Florida attorney to know for sure.

Whether you are entitled to any of your husband's inheritance will also depend on Florida law. In Ohio, many inheritances are not treated as marital property, meaning they are not available to split during a divorce. However, your specific situation will depend on how Florida treats the property. Again, these are issues you should discuss with an attorney licensed in Florida.

Good luck!
