Serving Kettering, Ohio
Kettering stretches south and east of Dayton and, with roughly fifty thousand residents, is one of the largest suburbs in the region. It grew up around the old Delco and Frigidaire plants, and much of its housing still dates from the years when those jobs were the reason families moved here — which is why so many Kettering divorce cases turn on a long-held house and a pension earned decades ago.
The city's neighbourhoods run from older streets near the Fraze and Hills & Dales to newer pockets along Wilmington Pike, and households differ accordingly: some clients are dividing a modest estate, others are weighing what happens to a business or a medical practice. We size the work to the estate rather than the other way around.
Family-Law Matters We Handle
Kettering clients most often need help with the family home, a pension built over a long career, and a custody schedule that keeps children in the same schools and activities.
We handle divorce and dissolution, contested and uncontested divorce, child custody and support, spousal support and property division, and military divorce.
Our practice-areas pages explain each of those in more depth, and the Resources section covers the questions clients raise most often.

Courts & Venue
Cases involving Kettering families are heard in the Domestic Relations Division of the Montgomery County Common Pleas Court in downtown Dayton. A case usually begins with a complaint or joint petition and service, followed by temporary orders, discovery, and either a negotiated agreement or a decision from the judge at a final hearing.
