    Default What County Should a Divorce Be Filed in

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Ohio
    I am in the process of getting a dissolution. Currently my daughter and I are living at my parents, but I am looking at moving one county over. Nothing has been filed with the courts at this time, although we have both retained lawyers. I currently live in Lake County, as does my husband, but I am looking at an aparemtn in Geauga County. So far, we are looking at shared parenting, with me being the residential parent, and this isn't being contested. I don't anticipate it being contested after we move either. My question is this... What county would our divorce and custody agreement need to be filed in? Is there a length of time we would need to live in Geauga County before I could file and have it be in that county?

    Default Re: What County Should a Divorce Be Filed in

    Given that you, your husband and your child all live in Lake County, that's presently the place to file. Venue for divorce would normally arise in a county after you've been domiciled there for 90 days. Keep in mind that if you have marital assets in Lake County, it could still make sense to file there.
