In addition, the Unit aids other agencies in dealing with offenders in the areas, such as the collection of child support payments, restitution, court costs and all other appropriate matters.
Child Custody and Visitation
Defiance County Common Pleas Court also has a domestic relations division which hears only marital disputes that consist of actions for divorce, dissolution, annulment, legal separation and child custody, as well as support for spouses and children. A juvenile court also may be a division of the common pleas court or of that court's probate division or domestic relations division.

Guardianship
The Defiance County Probate Court is staffed by an Administrator, Lisa M. Detray, a Deputy Clerk, Melissa Assaf and a Guardianship Liaison, Chris Palmer.
Spousal Support
As of September 30, 2000, Federal Laws and Regulations require the State of Ohio to operate a centralization and fully automated collection and distribution process for all child and spousal support orders. While the DCCSEA can assist clients on payment related inquires, some questions or problems may have to be addressed by contacting the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, Office of Child Support. You may also visit the State Office of Child Support at their web site.

If one or both applicants have been previously married, you must bring a copy of the most recent final divorce, dissolution, or annulment decree. These entries must have the Court’s file stamp and Judge’s signature.

The Defiance County Probate Court handles all filings and hearings for the admission of wills; the administration of decedents’ estates; applications for and administration of guardianships and conservatorships; adoptions; adult protective services actions; birth registrations and corrections; complaints for civil actions; disinterments; mental illnesses; minor settlement cases; name changes; testamentary trusts; and wrongful death actions. Additionally, this Court issues marriage licenses.

Advocates are also available to accompany and support victims through law enforcement interviews. Victims and their families can receive assistance in obtaining emergency food, shelter, clothing, and medical help as needed.

Property Damage
It is beneficial to the taxpayer to immediately report to the County Auditor any property damage to buildings in order to maximize tax savings. Damage may occur through natural disaster (fire, flood, wind damage, etc.), or demolition damage caused by intentionally tearing down an old garage or porch. The filing deadline and percentage deduction allowed on the damaged property for each calendar quarter is...

Personal Injury
Defiance County Common Pleas Court hears cases involving such matters as real estate, personal injury, breach of contract, marital conflicts, and business relationships. This is also the court that hears all criminal felony cases, since municipal and county courts are limited to misdemeanor offenses.

Foreclosure
You should contact the Treasurer's office immediately. A payment program is available for you. Taxes that are one or more years delinquent will be certified to the Prosecutor for Tax Foreclosure.
Tax Law
It provides tax relief on agricultural land. If the tract of land contains woodland as well as cropland, the CAUV Law will often provide a greater tax relief than the Ohio Forest Tax Law because the law applies only to forest land acreage. In some special circumstances, land currently under the CAUV program can lay idle for up to one year prior to being subject to recoupment.
