Divorce Services You Can Rely On
When the time comes to discuss the termination of a marriage, Lanter Legal, LLC, can help you understand the difference between the two main courses: Divorce and Dissolution. Each method of marriage termination has its pros and cons, and understanding your options is an important first step.
We have represented individuals in high-conflict, high-asset divorces and amicable dissolution proceedings. Whether you have children or not, whether you have substantial assets accumulated over a long-term marriage, or you are recently married and have little property to divide, you need an attorney who can give you personal attention.
Developed over many years of committing to the service of others, we have a unique approach to family law matters: we seek to solve problems, not create them. While contested litigation is, at times, unavoidable, the fact remains that more than 90% of marriages end by agreement.
LGBTQ + Legal Services:
Since the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, Ohio now permits same-sex couples to marry and to divorce. We have assisted LGBTQ+ individuals with family law issues for several years, and we are ready to help clients navigate through an evolving legal process.
Modifications And Enforcement
But what if, after getting a divorce or dissolution, your former spouse stops honoring your agreement or court order? Lanter Legal, LLC, has extensive experience in litigating “post-decree” matters, or those proceedings wherein clients ask the court to enforce, modify or terminate an existing order. Our attorneys can help you understand what is required to obtain the relief desired, and more importantly, we can help you get it.
