Medina Divorce Attorney Daniel Gigiano

 

A Medina divorce attorney provides representation for divorce, dissolution, post-decree motions, paternity complaint, child custody, child support, civil protection orders, and  motion to modify parental rights and responsibilities.

Where one or both parents are Medina residents, divorce cases would originate in the Medina County Domestic Relations Court.  A divorce starts with the filing of a complaint, accompanied by a number of affidavits, and usually a request for temporary orders.  Medina usually declines to issue orders on the pleadings alone and sets the matter for hearing on temporary orders.  Such a hearing can also be set after a party requests a hearing to review the temporary orders issued on the pleadings.  Often, the attorneys and the magistrate discuss the case and reach an agreement on temporary orders.  If an agreement cannot be reached, an evidentiary hearing is conducted before the magistrate, who issues orders as a result of the hearing.  A case management hearing is usually held on its own or at the same time as the temporary orders hearing.  At the case management hearing, the attorneys inform the magistrate of the potential issues, which may include spousal support, the need for a guardian ad litem, or separate property, as well as numerous other potential issues.  The magistrate issues an order scheduling discovery deadlines, the pretrial and final hearing.  While many cases reach a settlement at the pretrial or trial, some proceed to an evidentiary hearing at the final hearing.  The overwhelming majority of the final hearings are heard by the judge.

A dissolution in Medina Domestic Relations Court starts with a petition for dissolution, accompanied by signed agreements and affidavits.  The matter is set approximately sixty days out for hearing.  The parties almost always leave the hearing with a certified copy of their dissolution decree.

A paternity action in Medina County Domestic Relations Court starts with a paternity complaint.  The matter is set for a mediation session, followed by an initial hearing.  Temporary orders are usually set at the initial hearing, as well as a case management schedule scheduling discovery deadlines, a pretrial and final hearing.  While many cases reach a settlement at the pretrial or trial, some proceed to an evidentiary hearing at the final hearing

Attorney Daniel Gigiano is a Wooster divorce attorney, who regularly represents clients in Wayne County Courts.  For divorce cases where one or both parents are Wayne County residents, such cases would originate in the Wayne County Domestic Relations Court.  A divorce starts with the filing of a complaint, accompanied by a number of affidavits, and usually a request for temporary orders.  Wayne County may either decide temporary orders based on the initial affidavits or may do so after a temporary orders hearing.  Later, a Status One Hearing is conducted, where the attorneys tell the magistrate the issues involved in the case.  The Status Two and Pre-Trial conferences usually consist of a more detailed analysis, usually accompanied by detailed written breakdowns of the issues.  If the matter does not settle by this point, it proceeds to final hearing, or trial.  The magistrate hears the trial, which can later be reviewed by the judge at the request of the parties.  Otherwise the judge will simply review and approve the magistrate’s decision.
