The answer is that there is no answer because it depends on the circumstances. Divorcing a spouse in Ohio can be quick in some cases, and quite lengthy in others. The bigger question would be better started with “Do I qualify for an uncontested divorce?” or “Must my divorce be contested?” The fastest way to get a divorce in Ohio is by filing an uncontested divorce.

By Ms. JD Editor • August 09, 2021 •Ms. JD, Writers in Residence, Issues, Balancing Private and Professional Life
Have you ever found yourself looking at the calendar, wondering where the time went? It feels like there are three days in the week, rather than seven.

But twice a year, I’m genuinely shocked and befuddled that time literally jumped ship (here’s looking at you June and November). By the time we welcome June, half of the year has already gone by.

Every Thanksgiving we’re reminded to “count our blessings.” This year that phrase just hit a little differently. Although my Thanksgiving looked nothing like it had in years past, I found myself in utter awe of how incredibly fortunate I was. For me, Thanksgiving begins the season of slowing down.

We trade in rush hour traffic for holiday movies and cookies. So while I found myself pouring over a…

Just because other people are fueled by drama, doesn’t mean you need to attend the performance. – Cheryl Richardson I was busily working away at my new firm when the head of my department crept into my office, eyes wide. She hunched her shoulders down, looked around to make sure no one else was within earshot and said in a hushed tone, “Do you have a second? I have to tell you something.” She closed my office door. She proceeded to tell me that a colleague had a problem with some work that I had done. Her story didn’t ring…
