At the Lawrence Law Office, our Delaware family law attorneys are skilled, effective advocates for clients. With six decades of combined experience, we are committed to helping families in conflict find creative solutions that focus on addressing their goals and protecting the children’s best interests.
In our divorce practice, we work with clients at all stages of a marital breakup, from the initial filing to post-judgment requests for modification. We encourage alternative means of dispute resolution, looking for ways to resolve disputes outside of the courtroom. When alternative means are not in our clients’ best interests, our divorce lawyers in Delaware, Ohio will aggressively fight for them in court. We will also reach out to our network of experts that include CPAs, financial planners, and more to fully understand every aspect of your case, which is particularly helpful in cases that involve a high net worth divorce and complex issues. When necessary, those experts can also testify on your behalf in court. If you have questions about your family law rights or your legal options, we are more than ready to help.
Contact our law firm today to schedule a strictly confidential initial consultation with a top Central Ohio family lawyer.

We have helped many Ohio couples navigate the additional complexities associated with high-asset divorce.
All divorce cases have the potential to become complex, but this is particularly true when a business is involved. Before deciding what to do with the business, it first must be valued. Our skilled attorneys can help with this process by reaching out to our network of experts that include appraisers, CPAs, business brokers, and more. Once the business is valued, we will then help you determine your goals for the business, whether you want to divide it between you and your spouse, sell it, or relinquish it in exchange for other assets. These decisions are not easy. Our attorneys can provide the sound legal advice you need at this time, and will ensure your best interests are protected.
Divorces that involve a high net worth, either for one or both parties, are especially complex. You may face issues such as dividing significant real estate property, complex investment and savings accounts, stocks, company-linked benefits, such as stock options, trust holdings, inheritances and more. Our skilled attorneys, as well as the network of experts we regularly rely on to provide additional professional advice, will identify all property, accurately value your assets, and advise on the equitable property distribution laws of the state and how they will affect your case.

We Help Delaware Families Find Amicable, Low-Conflict Solutions
Going through a family law dispute can be emotionally difficult. Most people want to find a workable solution that limits conflict and preserves relationships. Our Delaware family lawyers can help. As an alternative to trial, mediation is a non-combative process designed to help disputing parties resolve their differences with the help of a neutral third party. Family law attorney, Linda Lawrence is a certified mediator with extensive experience helping disputing parities find common ground to resolve their differences.
Our law firm also has a strong background in collaborative law. Similar to mediation, this type of dispute resolution provides an alternative to litigation. However, instead of working with a neutral mediator, each side is represented by their own family law attorneys. Nothing is done in secret. Both sides meet together with their legal counsel to try and resolve family law issue outside of a courtroom.
While we strive to help our clients find amicable and reliable answers, we will never let your legal rights take a backseat. Our Delaware family lawyers are always prepared for litigation. If necessary, we are more than prepared to advocate aggressively to protect your legal rights or your family law interests.
