Within the realm of divorce law there are three ways to end a marriage in Ohio. They include an annulment, a divorce, and dissolution. Annulments are a challenge to the formation of a marriage. The Ohio Revised Code provides that a marriage may be annulled when the necessary requirements to form the marriage were not present. A divorce is a civil proceeding where one party files a civil complaint for a divorce asking the court to end the marriage under the grounds listed in the Ohio Revised Code. Further, the court may provide an equitable distribution of marital property and debts, allocations of parental rights and responsibilities of children, and may impose spousal support. A dissolution is a joint petition by both parties of a marriage asking the court to adopt a pre-negotiated separation agreement and terminate a marriage based on a mutual agreement of the parties. Dissolutions are often the most cost-efficient and quickest way to terminate a marriage.
