In Ohio, maybe.Most support orders stipulate payment is required until age 18 OR until the child graduates high school, with a maximum age of termination at 19. Get out your support papers and take them to a lawyer for assistance.

You should hire a competent family lawyer, like me, if you have not already done so. Your question is difficult because the other facts and circumstances of you case may determine what portion of the equity in the vacation home, if any, the court will award to you and/or your wife. When you refer to half the funds used for the purchase, I assume that you mean 50% of the down payment on the vacation home and not 50% of the equity of the vacation home. It may be possible to argue that you should receive the entire down payment, and that any equity above the down payment amount should be divided. This argument may be subject to several counter arguments. For example, you indicate that you refinanced your primary home to make the down payment on the vacation home. Has your wife contributed to the mortgage payments, utilities, maintenance, upkeep, etc of the primary residence? If so, it may be argued that she has contributed to payment of the loan used to obtain the down payment on the vacation home. There may be other arguments for and against an award of a percentage of the down payment amount. My suggestion is that you attempt to negotiate a global settlement considering all of your assets.

You can complete the forms necessary for an uncontested divorce.  Depending on the county where you reside, you may be able to download the forms.  If not, call the clerk of the superior court to determine if the office has printed forms you can pick up. Once you obtain the uncontested form packet, read the instructions carefully, complete the forms, have the necessary documents notarized, and file them with the filing fee. If all required documents are completed, both of you may be able to obtain a final hearing within 31 days after filing.
