Ohio Child Custody Lawyer

Child custody, visitation and support are only a few of the many things to think about when your marriage is ending. It can be difficult to make sure that your child doesn't get lost in the details. At the Swank Law Office in Newark, Ohio, we will guide you through the divorce process and work for you and your child's best interests.

Our Family Law Practice

Experienced attorney J. Gerard Swank has been practicing family law since 1974. With over 30 years of experience, he understands the Ohio family law system and will work hard to meet your goals. At the Swank Law Office, we will give you the personal attention you need to make important decisions regarding your children. Contact us for a free consultation to discuss your family law case.

We will work to make sure that your child's best interests are served during your divorce. Lengthy courtroom battles can be emotionally difficult for you and for your child. That's why we will try to help you and your spouse settle child custody and visitation issues outside of the courtroom. However, if you and your spouse cannot come to an agreement, we will fight vigorously to secure the arrangements you want.

Child Custody

We know that you want what is best for your child. Just because your marriage is ending doesn't mean that you or your spouse will end your relationship with your child. If you and your spouse cannot agree about who should have custody of your children, we will use our knowledge of the legal system and our experience to fight for you.

Parenting Time

Also called visitation, parenting time agreements allow divorcing spouses each to have time with their children. Shared parenting allows both parents to decide on major decisions regarding their child's school, healthcare and religion. Every family's needs are different, so each visitation and shared parenting agreement is different.
