Domestic & Family Law
Domestic Family Law Attorneys in Ohio
Domestic disputes and family law matters typically involve extremely personal and emotionally heavy topics. These situations can quickly be made worse by inexperienced legal counselors or lawyers who pressure you into contested litigation. At our firm, we do things differently.
The lawyers at Haynes Kessler Myers & Postalakis help clients pursue fair and reasonable solutions to their domestic and family issues, including division of property, alimony, child custody, child support, paternity action, visitation, shared parenting arrangements, and marital agreements (prenuptial and postnuptial). When handling any combination of these topics, we work to negotiate and secure decisions on as many areas as possible before litigating the remaining issues in the courtroom, which can save you time and money. We pride ourselves on the fact that many of our cases are resolved before ever reaching trial. Rest assured, however, our team does have experienced litigators who can empower you through skilled courtroom representation, when necessary.

Navigating Complex Domestic & Family Law Issues
Adoption
Adoption can be an incredibly rewarding life experience, but it also requires navigating a frequently intimidating legal process. The lawyers at Haynes Kessler Myers & Postalakis have guided countless families through adoption and look forward to doing the same for you. If you’re a prospective adoptive parent, we can help you complete the necessary paperwork, prepare for home study, and generally avoid any obstacles that would otherwise prevent you from growing your family. We can also assist birth mothers and paternal fathers with exercising their parental rights throughout the adoption process.
Divorce & Dissolution of Marriage
Ending a marriage is never an easy task. Whether or not spouses initially agree to the separation, they must still work together (to some degree) to decide custody, property distribution, spousal support, and more. No matter if it’s through divorce or dissolution of marriage, Haynes Kessler Myers & Postalakis can help you end your marriage as efficiently and amicably as possible. We also help spouses who prefer legal separation as an alternative to legally terminating their relationship. Through mediation, collaboration, and litigation, we can help you resolve even the most contentious aspects of your separation.
Child Custody
In child custody cases, our priority is to respectfully assist people with restructuring their families. We understand how personal and emotional custody matters can be, which is why we strive to provide clients with several different case options for working toward custody arrangements that best serve their children. We help clients negotiate parenting schedules, decision-making authority, visitation arrangements, and more. Overall, our objective is to make negotiating these issues more cooperative and less adversarial. In addition, we can help clients modify existing arrangements and enforce child support and custody terms, when needed.
