Overview

The practice of Thomas A. McCormack handles all aspects of family law, serving people from the beginning of marriage to the end. The goal is to prevent or resolve issues using strategies that cause the least conflict and cost. My services include: prenuptial agreements, separation agreements, dissolution or divorce, parenting rights and responsibilities, property division, spousal and child support, post-decree issue resolution. I have an enduring interest in protecting the interests of children, from infants to juveniles, whether their parents are married, divorced or single. This includes: paternity, child support, parenting time and custody, companionship rights, adoption, and juvenile court issues. When marriages end, dividing property is a key issue. One of the biggest challenges is allocating pension benefits. I bring many years' specialized experience advising major Ohio multi-employer/union pension and benefit plans to my domestic relations practice, including work in pension valuation, pension benefits division, and qualified domestic relations orders. When there are domestic violence issues, I pursue civil protection orders or temporary protection orders for clients and their children.
