Serving Centerville, Ohio
Centerville sits directly south of Kettering and immediately beside Washington Township, which makes it one of the closest communities to our office. The city's older core near Main Street and its newer subdivisions to the west and south hold a wide range of households, and the cases we see here reflect that mix: two-income families separating, parents relocating within the same school district to keep the children in place, and long-married couples planning an orderly end to the marriage.
Because the drive is short, Centerville clients often prefer to meet in person rather than only by phone — useful when a settlement involves a house, a business, or a parenting schedule that benefits from being talked through on paper.
Family-Law Matters We Handle
Most Centerville matters turn on two questions — where the children will live and go to school, and what happens to the house — and both are easier to settle with real numbers than with assumptions.
We handle divorce and dissolution, contested and uncontested divorce, child custody and support, spousal support and property division, and military divorce.
You can read more about each area on the practice-areas pages, and find answers to common questions in our Resources section.
Family Law in Centerville
Centerville's school district and its housing stock are frequently the two things both spouses care about most. Where children are involved, the goal is usually to keep the disruption to school, activities, and friendships as small as the situation allows, and to put a workable schedule in writing rather than improvising week to week.
Courts & Venue
Cases involving Centerville families are heard in the Domestic Relations Division of the Montgomery County Common Pleas Court in downtown Dayton. After the initial filing and service, the parties exchange financial information and either settle the open issues — often in mediation — or present them to the judge at a final hearing.
