Dissolution of Marriage While Continuing to Share the Marital Home
My question involves a marriage in the state of: Ohio
I was told that even though I was living with my soon to be ex husband, that I could file for a dissolution. Because our households are considred separate because we cook, clean, eat and pay different bills. We do aboslutely nothing together besides share our home because of it being the best option Money wise and for our child. We both have significant others and our paper work is completed. I know more than likely I will hear the words "Get a lawyer" but any insight would be great considering I am fighting a battle of being a single mother with a father who will be present, but will not support. Therefore, I am very limited on funds and I am trying my best to get this completed.
Re: Dissolution of Marriage
I haven't read through all of the Ohio divorce statute but the first few sections leads me to conclude that Ohio does not require a physical separation for a divorce to be granted.
You would be wise to study the statutes yourself.

"I am fighting a battle of being a single mother with a father who will be present, but will not support."
That doesn't make any sense.
If you are seeking primary custody and child support, he WILL support.
ARE you seeking primary custody and child support?
If you aren't, then you really do need a lawyer (and your head examined).
Re: Dissolution of Marriage
He will be present for anything and everything that has to do with our child. However, I am the one who pays for almost everything, clothes, shoes, outting with friends. If I even begin to ask him or even if our child ask, he says no. So that is what I mean about being present, but not supporting.
Yes Primary custody, and yes support.

Apparently, the household expenses have been divided. Trying to separate child expense from that likely requires a renegotiation.
Re: Dissolution of Marriage
you say you both have significant others.
I sure hope somebody is considering the psych treatments for the children that may not be covered under either parent's medical policy. I can only imagine the confusion the children experience due to such an arrangement. I am sure you are going to say; they have no problem with it.
They do have a problem with it because it is confusing even if it does not cause an issue currently. They may say or appear to not be bothered but this is setting some very odd ideas into their little heads.
this arrangement sets itself up for so many problems.
who owns the house? if owned, what is any proposed action regarding the division of the house regarding equity, debt, and possession?

I disagree jk. My children grew up with free minded parents. When they were young I had a live-in girlfriend. When I was working out of state for a long period of time, as teens, they came to visit a week before my wife could take her vacation/our family vacation and they stayed at my girlfriends house when I was traveling for more than a day.

where in your situation did you and the ex live in the same household though while you had your girlfriends?
