One of the most commonly contested issues couples encounter during divorce is the division of property. The state of Ohio breaks down property into two categories: marital property and separate property.
Any property obtained during the marriage is considered marital property. This can include assets such as:

Separate property is to remain separate. However, if one spouse is found to have engaged in financial misconduct such as hiding property, the court may award some of the offending spouse’s separate property to the other spouse.
Once the court is made aware of all marital property, it will consider multiple factors in order to determine how the property is divided. Some of these considerations include:
