Serving Franklin, Ohio
Franklin sits on the Great Miami River in southern Warren County, at the point where I-75 and the older industrial corridor meet. It is a working city with a long history in paper and manufacturing, and its cases reflect a straightforward set of concerns: how a home is divided, how two incomes are untangled, and how children move between two households without losing their footing.
Franklin's housing is older on average than the surrounding suburbs, which shows up in the numbers. A house purchased years ago may carry modest debt and meaningful value, or the reverse; either way, the valuation and the mortgage have to be settled before the rest of the agreement can be finalised.
Family-Law Matters We Handle
Franklin clients most often come with a homeowner's question — what happens to the house, the mortgage, and the equity — alongside custody and support for the children.
We handle divorce and dissolution, contested and uncontested divorce, child custody and support, spousal support and property division, and military divorce.
Details on each of those are on our practice-areas pages, and our Resources section answers the questions Ohio families ask most often.
Family Law in Franklin
The city is a convenient drive from Washington Township, and Franklin cases are filed in Warren County court in Lebanon. Where both spouses are able to agree, an uncontested divorce or a dissolution is usually the fastest route; where they are not, we prepare the case for the judge from the outset.
Courts & Venue
Cases involving Franklin families are heard in the Warren County Common Pleas Court in Lebanon. A case generally opens with a complaint or joint petition and service, then moves through temporary orders, discovery, and a resolution by agreement — or a decision from the judge at a final hearing.
