How Do Ohio Courts Determine Spousal Support?

Family courts in Ohio examine several factors in each individual case. These factors include:

• The income of each spouse
• The earning potential of each spouse
• The education or vocational training of each spouse
• Each spouse’s contribution to the marriage
• The duration of the marriage
• The property, assets and debts of each spouse
