Services

Divorce Lawyer
Child support litigation
There are three divisions of an Ohio common pleas court that hears family law matters: domestic relations, juvenile and probate. Sometimes family law matters are combined and one division possesses jurisdiction over multiple matters, such as a division that combines juvenile and probate matters.
Collaborative divorce representation
Legal separation, which can either be a precursor or alternative to divorce. You may opt for legal separation if you are waiting to meet the state’s residency requirements, for instance.
Contested divorce litigation
In any difficult situation, having some idea of what to expect can reduce stress and allow you to prepare mentally and emotionally. The same is true of divorce. While each case is different, we’ve provided a typical outline of what happens during divorce in Ohio.
Custody & visitation rights litigation
With many modifications, a request to modify an existing visitation court order is not automatic unless both parties agree. Under the law, a custody modification would require a “change in circumstance.”
Military divorce representation
The harsh reality is that divorce rates for military members who have been deployed are quite high. A divorce involving active military personnel is a bit more complicated than a traditional divorce involving two civilians.
Property division litigation
At Hartley Law Office, LLC, we strive to help clients understand every aspect of divorce in order to make intelligent, informed decisions. Because asset division can be complex, we’ve included a basic overview of the process on this page. There is no substitute for case-specific legal advice.
Uncontested divorce legal services
Child Custody Lawyer
The attorneys at Hartley Law Office, LLC, understand how to prioritize children’s interests during divorce and child custody proceedings and minimize emotional fallout. We understand how important it is to protect children to the maximum possible extent.
Contested Divorce
Contested divorce, in which both parties come to an impasse regarding certain issues pertaining to the marriage, and the matters are presented to and ultimately determined by a judge.
Dissolution Lawyer
If both parties agree that ending their marriage is the best option, dissolution may be the best course of action. Dissolution is often the cheapest, easiest and least stressful way to terminate a marriage. It does not require the same court proceedings as a typical divorce.
Division of Assets
At Hartley Law Office, LLC, we strive to help clients understand every aspect of divorce in order to make intelligent, informed decisions. Because asset division can be complex, we’ve included a basic overview of the process on this page. There is no substitute for case-specific legal advice.
Divorce
A divorce will affect every aspect of one’s life. One’s closest relationships undergo dramatic change. One’s financial security may be jeopardized. The future — once so carefully planned for — becomes much less certain. It is also a time when acting rashly can have devastating consequences.

Family Law Issues
Family Law Matter
Family Lawyer
This particular Ohio common pleas court division hears actions for divorce, dissolution, legal separation and annulment. It also oversees post-decree actions regarding the allocation of parental rights and responsibilities of minor children such as child custody and child support.
Military Divorce
The harsh reality is that divorce rates for military members who have been deployed are quite high. A divorce involving active military personnel is a bit more complicated than a traditional divorce involving two civilians.
Other Family Law
Parents Visitation Rights
With many modifications, a request to modify an existing visitation court order is not automatic unless both parties agree. Under the law, a custody modification would require a “change in circumstance.”
Same-Sex Divorce
In any difficult situation, having some idea of what to expect can reduce stress and allow you to prepare mentally and emotionally. The same is true of divorce. While each case is different, we’ve provided a typical outline of what happens during divorce in Ohio.
Separation Agreements
Legal separation, which can either be a precursor or alternative to divorce. You may opt for legal separation if you are waiting to meet the state’s residency requirements, for instance.
Uncontested Divorce
Uncontested divorce, where both parties allege no fault and are able to finalize a harmonious agreement without direction from the court (or a situation where fault exists, but one party fails to respond to the complaint).
Weekend Appointments
Family Law Attorney
Divorce litigation
Divorcing after 50 presents unique risks. Most pressingly, many individuals wonder how divorce will affect their retirement. Indeed, for many individuals, divorce poses a serious threat to financial stability. A range of anxieties and fears are quick to arise.
Father’s rights litigation
Grandparents often play a big part in a child’s life. Fortunately, in Ohio, grandparents can petition the court for visitation rights if conflict arises and a court determines it is in the best interests of the child.
Modification of court orders
Similar to the Ohio domestic relations court, the Ohio juvenile court division also hears actions regarding the allocation of parental rights and responsibilities — but for minor children born outside of wedlock, including over paternity matters.
Probate legal services
The Ohio probate court division possesses jurisdiction over marriage licensing, name changes, adoptions, guardianships and mental health commitments. It also handles estate administration for deceased residents of Ohio.

Domestic Relations Court
This particular Ohio common pleas court division hears actions for divorce, dissolution, legal separation and annulment. It also oversees post-decree actions regarding the allocation of parental rights and responsibilities of minor children such as child custody and child support.
Father’s Rights
In Ohio, the law states that both parties “stand upon an equality as to the parental rights and responsibilities” regarding the care of their children. The courts are not allowed to give preference to either parent based on gender alone. Instead, they look at factors to determine child custody.
Grandparent’s Rights
Grandparents often play a big part in a child’s life. Fortunately, in Ohio, grandparents can petition the court for visitation rights if conflict arises and a court determines it is in the best interests of the child.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueAaron Hartley is the epitome of what a great attorney should be. Aaron is truly concerned about protecting his clients above even himself. Not afraid to be aggressive in courts and will not let them say no. Aaron’s practice has an associate attorney and more than ample office staff to make sure any and all information is available in a very timely manner. My case went a lot smoother than I could have imagined and I believe wholeheartedly that without him and his team I would not be ok now.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueIt is IMPOSSIBLE to Find Better CouncilI have no way of truly stating or defining the fact that in your darkest moment as a father facing divorce, fear and anger develop. I was in this situation and needed to find a good attorney. Let me re-phrase this…. I needed to find the BEST attorney. And by luck, I did. Mr. Hartley and his team are magicians with a flair of aggression to do the right thing. There has never been a moment where relief felt so outstanding knowing that Mr. Hartley was my sword and shield. My divorce was in the least, contentious. Mr. Hartley navigated these waters with ease and absolutely pummeled anything in his path. I retained almost everything I was fighting for myself and my daughter in what I considered a “vanilla” divorce(house, 401K, rental unit, but most of all, final decision maker for my daughter). Some may say that this sounds easy, but it is not! And I do believe that there is a right way to fight a case where a father is fighting for his child. Mr. Hartley provided EXACTLY that. The wide expanse of knowledge and capability of Mr. Hartley knows no bounds. He definitely pushes beyond any normal human for his clients. The precision and timing of action is everything and to be honest, I do not believe that Mr. Hartley sleeps at all. He was available anytime and the guidance was impeccable. There should be a movie made about this attorney. His preparation and subsequent pouncing in a courtroom is exactly that….out of a movie. The difference is, it IS reality and that diamond you are looking for is located in Kettering, OH. As a father, I reigned in the outcome (which these days does not seem possible). I have final authority on just about everything related to my daughter. The future is hers thanks to Mr. Hartley and his team. And I am telling anyone reading this….If you are in a similar situation, I wouldn’t trust ANYONE else.Navigation of the Courts Skill: 10+Client in mind: 10+Staffing: 10Understanding of your needs: 10+Availability: 10+It is IMPOSSIBLE to Find Better CouncilI have no way of truly stating or defining the fact that in your darkest moment …More

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueI hired Aaron and his team to help with custody arrangements for my children. As an military member whose ex-wife is also military but lives in Germany with my children, I needed a lawyer with extensive knowledge of, not only Ohio law, but someone capable of navigating a complex international case. Aaron and his team rose to the challenge. They are extremely knowledgeable and handled my case with the proper care it needed.Not only did Aaron help to adjust the custody arrangements but I also received additional visitation above and beyond what I initially expected. Watching Aaron in the courtroom during the hearing, I knew I made the right choice as the opposing counsel was no match for him.I highly recommend anyone looking for an attorney with passion and care to reach out to Aaron and his team…you won’t be disappointed!I hired Aaron and his team to help with custody arrangements for my children.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueAs a man looking to end a marriage of 13 years and kids being involved, I thought I was screwed and that my life was financially ruined but I couldn’t have been more wrong. Mr. Hartley was very proactive and even demanding of me when it came to matters that required my attention, which I definitely needed at the time.He strategized the whole approach and helped me negotiate the schedule I wanted with my kids, what assets to trade off to get the least impactful results to my finances and served as a constant node of blunt force positivity in my corner. He emphasized what I already knew to be the most important aspect of the process, my kids.I’ll layout my general results below…As a man I know these results are rare and obviously can’t be applied to all situations and people.- 50/50 shared parenting control (normal).- Rotating major holidays (normal).- Kids live with dad as residential parent and visit mom every other weekend (not normal).- Child support is still present due to income inequality but fair.- No alimony (married 13 years).- Kept my house (and all the equity).- Lost my 401k but traded it for desired schedule (time with my kids) & house (it was worth it to me).This review is long overdue and overall what I want people to take away is that I really owe Mr. Hartley a lot and that this guy is a shark but not without a heart. If you need help with any kind of family law, this is the guy you want to have in your corner. Thanks again Aaron and best wishes!As a man looking to end a marriage of 13 years and kids being involved, I thought I was screwed and that my life was financially ruined but I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, ResponsivenessWhere do I even begin?Mr. Hartley and his team were on top of things since day one. If you work with him, he will definitely go above and beyond to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible. Don’t waste his time, and he will most certainly not waste yours.Him and his team were always very professional, communicated constantly, and would listen to you and your concerns. When Mr. Hartley says to not worry about something, even if it might seem a bit off at the moment, he knows what he’s talking aboutHe goes straight to the point, and will not sugarcoat anything for you. Sometimes truth can be a hard pill to swallow, but rest assured that the way he sees the situation is in the best interest of his clients, in every aspect (mentally, emotionally, financially etc.).The way he is able to keep composure and be on top of everything, not to mention at the speed he and his team operate, is simply insane (in a good way of course).I’m very glad that I chose Mr. Hartley and his team! They helped make this process a smooth one and if it came down to it, I would hire him again in a heartbeat!Where do I even begin?Mr. Hartley and his team were on top of things since day one.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, ResponsivenessThe #1 reason I hired Mr. Hartley’s office was peace of mind. My case wasn’t too complex on the surface, but all too often things slip through the cracks and before you know it, you lose your vantage point and get screwed in family court. This is especially true for single fathers like myself. Hence, I was not going take any chances and knew upon my initial consult – the only one I had – I would be prepared for the worst.What’s most remarkable about Mr. Hartley’s office is he and his staff are extremely well organized, efficient, and responsive. Unsurprisingly, there’s a lot of paperwork involved with family – but I guess all legal – matters. In the past, I sometimes had to ‘manage’ my attorneys and keep them on track. That came with a great deal of stress and anxiety. I was/am not ready to go through that again. Mr. Saunders, Robin and more recently Ashley were always on top of everything. And Mr. Hartley is always up-to-date and one phone call or stop away, whether it is late in the evening, weekends or holidays. Both Mr. Hartley and Mr. Saunders are quite relatable and complement each other amazingly well. Mr. Hartley cuts to the chase and is very straightforward. Mr. Saunders excels at listening, analyzing, and synthesizing the details.I’d recommend overcommunication/frequent reminders when it comes to court dates and times, as these tend to change a lot, and I have failed to update my calendar on a couple of occasions.In the end – or at least for now – the crisis has been averted. I look forward to at least a couple of years of peace as I raise my daughter, until the next challenge, which I’m confident we’ll be ready for.The #1 reason I hired Mr. Hartley’s office was peace of mind.

I was referred to the Hartley Law Office by an attorney friend. When I asked why, he said I needed a true advocate to represent me and Aaron Hartley was the best attorney he knew. From our first meeting, I knew Aaron Hartley and I were a good fit. While I thought I had all the information he would need, Aaron probed deeply to uncover important facts and figures. He provided excellent guidance and leadership. The price was fair. I will always remember his professionalism. My case was resolved ahead of schedule. We created a friendship and I will call Aaron Hartley when I need legal counsel again. I recommend the Hartley Law Office without reservation!

Aaron Hartley and his team are absolutely amazing. He is very professional and hard working. As a single parent himself he could really relate to my situation, and knew exactly how to handle my case. Hartley Law office helped me to get custody of my children after a rough divorce and also helped to establish ways for me and my children to communicate and participate in a healthier family structure with my ex-wife. If you are looking for a legal team that truly cares about you, your family, and the case you have to present, then Aaron Hartley and his team can be trusted to provide you with the highest quality legal work in the area. Thank you again Hartley team.

Positive: Quality, Responsiveness, ValueIf you’re looking for a gladiator then you’ve found him! If you want a straight up lawyer that’s gonna tell you what you need to know then he is it. Aaron Hartley and his staff are never playing around when it comes to a case. I wish I had hired him years ago! He took a clusterf*** and fixed it quick. He gets results!Something to note though, Aaron does not beat around bush about anything. If constructive criticism offends you then you’re going to have a hard time seeing his point. Trust me, he put my expectations in check more than once. This is his career and this is what he excels at. Trust him. Listen to him, even if it’s not what you want to hear. You may not like what he says but he knows what he is doing. Be ready to hear some of what is going on with him, it’s not mock you or make you feel like your case is less serious than his. It’s to make a point- pick your battles so you can win the war.Aaron will see you through the end and he will not lead you astray. Let me put it to you this way, do you want a lawyer that’s gonna let you get rolled or do you want one that is gonna roll your opponent and get you want you want (within reason people)?Be prepared to be expected to bring your all to the game. Give him credible info and back it up with proof and he will back the opposing counsel down. Aaron has an alpha personality and alphas do not like lose. That is the type of lawyer you want if you want to win.If you’re looking for a gladiator then you’ve found him!
