Family Law and Domestic Relations Lawyer R.C. Stoughton

When protecting your family and property rights, an attorney with extensive family law experience is your best ally. At the Stoughton Law Office, you can count on receiving skilled legal representation from an Ohio State Bar Association certified family relations law specialist. I have been practicing in family law in Fairfield County for 30 years and have the knowledge you need on your side.

Family law issues are often intensely personal. It is important to have an attorney you can trust to understand the full scope of your situation. Over my career, I have assisted clients in divorce cases involving domestic violence, child abuse, dependency issues, and countless other factors. In addition to family law work, I have extensive criminal defense experience. This is an advantage for clients dealing with criminal charges that may affect their family law case.

You can count on me to aggressively pursue your best interests. To discuss your family law needs with an experienced attorney, contact me today to schedule an appointment.

I help individuals and families with a broad range of domestic relations issues including:

• Divorce
• Dissolution
• Child custody and parenting time (visitation)
• Child support
• Enforcement and modification of family court orders
• Step-parent, third party and grandparents' rights to visitation

Post-Decree and Ongoing Divorce Issues

Many of the decisions that will have the most dramatic effect on your family take effect after a divorce or dissolution has taken place. These matters, including rulings on child support and parenting time, can be complicated. As an Ohio State Bar Association certified family relations specialist, I have the legal knowledge and skills necessary to ensure any final decision protects your interest and is right for you and your children.

In addition to the initial orders from family court, I handle all enforcement and modification issues related to parenting time and child support. Changes can be made to these orders when one party can demonstrate a significant change in circumstances.

Dissolution

While I have extensive experience protecting the rights of my clients in divorce proceedings in court, it is often a better option for couples who are able to effectively communicate with each other to reach an agreement without litigation. If both parties are in complete agreement on every issue, dissolution can keep the cost down when compared to lengthy divorce proceedings.

Dedicated to Personal Service

I judge the success of my practice on the results I obtain for my clients, not on the number of cases I handle. I provide each client with the personal attention they deserve, keeping them fully engaged in their case from start to finish. For a prompt response to your legal concerns, contact me today.
