Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

Divorce/custody question

I am planning to file for divorce from

my husband of 8 years. I wish to

have custody of our two minor

children. Legal counsel has advised

me that I must remain in the marital

home to accomplish that objective.

There has been no physical abuse,

but I very much wish to move out of

the marital home. Is there a second

opinion on this issue or do I definitely

have to remain in the home?

Re: Divorce/custody question

The fact that the children are accommodated well in the marital home with their own rooms, routines and equipment, and school district--the same could not happen elsewhere--is a major reason for staying there. If the same can be done elsewhere, the parents should not have to be tied to the marital home. I suggest a second opinion.
