Residency Requirements:
In order to file for divorce or dissolution of marriage in Ohio,
the filing spouse must have been a resident of Ohio for at least 6
months and a resident of the county for at least 90 days immediately
before to filing. [Ohio Revised Code Annotated; Section 3105.03 and
Ohio Rules of Civil Procedure; Rule 3].
Legal Separation:
The grounds for legal separation are
1) adultery;
2) imprisonment;
3) willful desertion for 1 year;
4) cruel and inhuman treatment;
5) bigamy;
6) drunkenness;
7) fraud;
8) neglect;

10) living separate and apart without cohabitation and without
interruption for 1 year. [Ohio Revised Code Annotated;
Sections 3105.01 and 3105.17].
General Divorce Procedure:
Both spouses may jointly file the petition for dissolution of marriage,
which contains signatures of both spouses and an attached settlement
agreement with provisions for (a) property division; (b) spousal
support; and (c) provisions for custody, visitation and child support,
if there are minor children. Both spouses must then appear in court
between 30 and 90 days after filing to testify that they signed the
agreement voluntarily, are satisfied with the agreement, and seek a
dissolution of marriage. [Ohio Revised Code Annotated; Sections
