The process of divorce in Columbus and Central Ohio can be painful, and the final hearing before the judge can be quite emotionally challenging. You will usually spend 3 to 4 hours at the courthouse awaiting your turn in court, and filing appropriate documents afterward. At the law offices of Ralph A. Kerns, we work with a local judge to hold private hearings in our offices.

Our clients find this to be fast, convenient, and much less stressful. Instead of appearing in open court, you and your spouse appear in a private office before a compassionate judge, who will complete your dissolution in a prompt and peaceful environment. There are many options when considering a divorce. We work with clients to find the best solution for their unique circumstances, with the goal of keeping the emotional and financial costs, as well as the timeframe involved to a minimum.
