My question involves divorce in the State of: Ohio

Hello all,

Looking for information as to whether there are benefits associated with being the filing party in a divorce in Ohio? A family member is being drug into an unfortunate divorce that he really does not want, but considering it is no longer an "if", but rather a "when", should he be the one to file? Are there benefits to being either the filing party or the defendant? Pro's vs cons?
He isn't looking to stop the divorce, so it won't be contested. Also, there is a fair amount of property involved, as well as an 11yr old child.

I greatly appreciate any and all help with this - so I thank you all in advance.
