The Domestic Relations Court is part of the Common Pleas Court and it has jurisdiction to terminate marriages by divorce, dissolution or annulment. The Court generally has authority over the children of the marriage until the children have turned 18 and no longer regularly attend high school.

Additionally the Court has the power to enforce its orders until they have been complied with.

The Court shares jurisdiction with the Municipal Court and the Common Pleas Court over domestic violence cases. It is possible that more than one court will be involved with the parties in a domestic violence case. The Municipal Court deals with the criminal aspect and the Common Pleas Court deals with the civil aspect.

The Wood County Domestic Relations Court is the appropriate court when one of the parties resides in Wood County.

The Judges of the Court of Common Pleas of Wood County have appointed two magistrates to hear most cases with issues relating to the termination of marriage and enforcement of the Decrees. This would include dissolution, divorce, legal separation, post-decree motions and civil protection orders.
