The May/June 2005 issue of the Domestic Relations Journal of Ohio is carrying an article about the OSBA’s Spousal Support Subcommittee’s two and one-half year endeavor which is resulting in “a proposal for new legislation designed to create the framework for a unique approach to securing more predictability & consistency throughout all 88 counties regarding the duration and amount of compensatory spousal support awards.”
The Subcommittee concluded that “if there were very little, if any, economic advantage to be gained by either party as a result of docket delay or multiple continuances there would be more interest by both parties in accelerating settlement negotiations, or in using arbitration to resolve some issues, rather than waiting for what may be a distant future trial date in many counties.”
The article also noted that there had been very little use of arbitration procedures that have been available in domestic relation cases under Sup.R. 15(B) since 1993.
An earlier version of the DRJO article is posted on the OSBA website, but we weren't able to get a current copy.
The Subcommittee’s now having a draft proposal, exchange is underway with domestic relation judges in the State for their input and approval.
