Coshocton County's Domestic Relations Division of the Court handles divorces, dissolutions of marriage, and matters related to minor children in terminated marriages, with the ability to modify orders concerning children. The Court provides forms and instructions for individuals representing themselves, but recommends seeking legal assistance due to the complexity of the process. Residents of Ohio can file for divorce in the state if they have been a resident for at least six months, while annulments are only granted under specific circumstances. Legal separation is also an option, allowing couples to live separately while remaining married.
The Court utilizes Magistrates to hear cases assigned to them, acting on behalf of the Judge to expedite the process. Magistrates are experienced attorneys who issue decisions, ensuring a more efficient resolution for cases. Overall, the Domestic Relations Division aims to provide guidance and support to individuals navigating the legal aspects of terminating a marriage or addressing matters related to minor children.
