We, at the practice of Ralph A. Kerns & Associates, are based in Worthington, Ohio, and offer you 30 years of experience and dedicated, aggressive representation to help guide you through your divorce step by step.
The practice consists of attorneys Ralph A. Kerns, Elizabeth Werner, Amanda Wilhelm and Melinda Kaufman. We have a paralegal on staff, as well as Ralph A. Kerns' wife, Brenda Kerns, as office manager. We are here in the office to keep in close contact with you and address your questions and concerns quickly.
Having represented clients in hundreds of divorce cases, we understand that each case is different. We want to offer you personalized representation and to find out your family's needs - and meet those needs.
Our goal is to protect our clients from being negatively affected by an emotionally and financially exhausting situation. We want to help you and will compassionately work with you, while giving aggressive representation.
We offer guidance in all aspects of divorce. We guarantee fair division of retirement assets by correct valuation of property and aggressive negotiation. Ohio law allows retirement assets to be divided between spouses in a divorce. We will work on your behalf to make sure you get what you are entitled to.
Ralph and Brenda Kerns have four children of their own and understand that the most important and emotional factors in a divorce are the children involved. We will make sure that child custody, child support and visitation rights are upheld. We can help if these agreements need modification or enforcement. We also determine paternity through DNA testing and follow through with negotiating child support and visitation rights.
We also offer a cost-effective alternative to divorce: a legally recognized dissolution. Dissolutions are an option when both parties can agree on all issues and the process is often much shorter than a divorce.
In addition to divorce litigation, we handle prenuptial agreements, as well as prosecute and defend civil cases concerning domestic violence.
