Alimony And Child Support In Ohio: New Directions After Dissolution, William Tabac
Alimony And Child Support In Ohio: New Directions After Dissolution, William Tabac
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
Recent decisions by the Ohio Supreme Court will undoubtedly have significant impact upon post-dissolution alimony and child support. In rejecting basic premises upon which domestic relations courts have historically ordered such payments, the court has set new directions. Traditional notions of sex-based roles in the support of the family have been set aside and new standards, based upon the needs of the parties and the factual circumstances in particular cases, have been established. As a result, the husband's statutory duty to support his wife and children during marriage will no longer govern his responsibilities toward the family following dissolution, and …

Therapeutic Approach To Divorce Proceedings, Marcus G. Raskin, Sanford N. Katz
Cleveland State Law Review
The concept of fault -the placing of blame on one party- has no place in the therapeutic approach to divorce cases. If we consider the concept of fault in a different sense, namely, misconduct contributing to the disruption of the marital relation, then the concept becomes workable. The marriage counselor's primary function is not to determine which party's misconduct has caused the discord. The therapeutic approach is based on a relational misconduct. That is, it applies when both parties are responsible for the breakup. The aim of the therapeutic approach is not to "reward the innocent and punish the guilty." …
Continuing Jurisdiction In Divorce Cases, Otto Miller Iii
Continuing Jurisdiction In Divorce Cases, Otto Miller Iii
Cleveland State Law Review
This paper discusses whether or not a divorce court, by granting a continuing order for support and/or alimony, thereby retains such jurisdiction over the person that it need only give notice by mail or publication before reducing an arrearage to a lump sum judgment which, under "due process" is entitled to full faith and credit in the courts of sister States.

Random Thoughts On Marriage And Divorce, Samuel H. Silbert
Cleveland State Law Review
Marriage and divorce give rise to our most perplexing legal difficulties. This is partly due to social considerations. A primary cause, however, can be found in the States' Rights Doctrine as a consequence of which there has been constant confusion and a lack of uniformity in our laws. Our various states differ on when people may marry; whom they may marry; the ages at which they may marry; the residence requirements for divorce and the grounds for divorce. Thus, despite the Full Faith and Credit Clause in the United States Constitution, the decrees obtained in one state are not necessarily …
