Divorce Attorney in Columbus
Helping Families from All Walks of Life
Columbus divorce lawyer Nina P. Scopetti has successfully represented clients for over 40 years. At her firm, we have counseled Ohio families through the full range of family law matters, including divorce, dissolution, custody & visitation, child support, property division, grandparents' rights, and other issues.
Located in downtown Columbus, our family law firm is devoted exclusively to helping people resolve complex divorces and other legal matters that families face.
When you work with our office, you can expect to speak directly with an experienced divorce attorney who understands how cases move through the Franklin County Domestic Relations and Juvenile Court. We take the time to explain Ohio divorce law, likely timelines, and the options available to you so that you can make informed choices about your future. Our goal is to reduce confusion during an already stressful period and to provide steady guidance as you navigate major decisions about your children, your home, and your financial stability.
What To Expect When You Start a Divorce Case
Beginning the divorce process often raises questions about what will happen next, how long it will take, and what you will need to do. In an initial meeting, we review your priorities, explain how Ohio law treats issues like parenting time, property, and support, and outline the steps involved in filing and responding to court documents. We also discuss practical concerns such as living arrangements, temporary support, and how hearings in Franklin County and surrounding courts are typically scheduled so that you know what to expect in the coming months.
As your case moves forward, we help you prepare for negotiations, mediation, and any necessary court appearances, including what information and financial records you should gather. Our team explains the role of local judges and magistrates, how temporary orders are requested, and how settlement discussions are usually handled in Columbus-area courts. By giving you a clear picture of the process and realistic options, we aim to make each decision more manageable and help you stay focused on long-term goals for yourself and your children.

Nina helped with some legal issues in a professional, timely, and empathetic manner. She helped me navigate processes I was not familiar with, educated me along the way, and pointed me in the right direction when additional support was needed.- Matt H. -
“Thank you, Nina!”
Goodness where do I begin! I previously made a review before about not being able to get into contact with Nina. I had not known that she had fallen ill before I placed the review. But now that she has been back, we have been in contact and she has been a TREMENDOUS help in my divorce. She has been honest and forthcoming. She has been my advocate. She has stood her ground when she needed to. She has been flexible with me. I could not have asked for someone better to help me as we go through this process! Thank you, Nina!- Casey L. -
“Again, what a wonderful person and an amazing attorney!”
I cannot say enough good things about Nina! What an amazing attorney and even better person. She represented me in a custody issue and she was always upfront with what to expect and what the outcome would mostly be and she was 100% correct. I got the feeling very early on that she truly cares about her clients and any kids involved and only wanted what was best for us. Again, what a wonderful person and an amazing attorney! Thank you so much again Nina (and Beth too!)- Brian F. -

Nina has been amazing in handling a high conflict parenting situation. She is very responsive, and is amazing at handling a (sometimes) unresponsive opposing counsel.- Shyam K.

Divorce & Family Law Services in Columbus, Ohio
- Divorce – Whether you are filing for no-fault or fault-based divorce, whether your divorce is amicable or contested, our Columbus divorce lawyers can provide the guidance and advocacy that you need.
- Child Custody & Visitation – Ohio has different types of custody: sole or joint, legal or physical. Our team can fight to protect your rights as well as your child's best interests.
- Child Support – Child support is paid by the non-custodial parent and is intended to help pay for a child's basic needs, healthcare, education, and more. Our lawyers can help you get a fair child support order in Columbus.
- Dissolution – Are you and your spouse in agreement about your separation? Dissolution may be the best option for you as opposed to divorce. In Ohio, dissolution of marriage is a legal process that allows spouses to go their separate ways without the hassle of going to court.
- Spousal Support – In Ohio, spousal support can be temporary or permanent, modifiable or non-modifiable. Let us fight for a fair spousal support order that meets your needs.
We provide clear guidance on your options:
- Understanding divorce – We explain the difference between no-fault and fault-based divorce, what it means to have a contested or uncontested case, and how these choices can affect the timeline and cost of working with a Columbus divorce lawyer.
- Choosing between divorce and dissolution – We review whether you and your spouse are in enough agreement to pursue dissolution, or whether a traditional divorce filing is better suited to protect your rights and interests.
- Planning for custody and support – We discuss how courts in Franklin County and nearby counties typically approach parenting plans, child support, and spousal support so you can prepare for negotiations or hearings.
- Addressing property and debt – We help you identify marital and separate property, consider how assets and debts might be divided, and think through long-term financial implications of different settlement options.
Many families who come to us are unsure whether they should pursue divorce, dissolution, or a post-decree modification, and a conversation with a Columbus divorce attorney can help clarify the most efficient path. We discuss how Franklin County judges typically approach issues like parenting time schedules, property division, and support, and we tailor our recommendations to the facts of your case.
By offering practical guidance that is grounded in Ohio law and our years of experience in local courts, we help you weigh the pros and cons of different strategies so you can move forward with greater confidence.
