Ohio divorce forms, with their official numbers
Every divorce form Ohio publishes, listed by the number the clerk will ask for, with a link to the state’s own file. Nothing here is our document.
This is a reference list, not a packet. If you want the process — what to file first, what it costs, how long it takes — that is on the Ohio divorce guide. This page exists because the number is often the only thing you need: a clerk who says “bring the Form 17” is not going to explain what that is.

Which Ohio forms need a notary
On the Supreme Court of Ohio’s uniform domestic relations forms we reviewed, Affidavit 1 (Basic Information, Income, and Expenses), Affidavit 2 (Property and Debt), Affidavit 3 (Parenting Proceeding Affidavit) and Affidavit 4 (Health Insurance Affidavit) carry an oath block with a notary jurat, and Affidavit 1 says not to sign until the notary is present. Form 19 (Separation Agreement) has a separate notary acknowledgment page for each spouse; it is an acknowledgment, not an oath. The complaints (Forms 6 and 7), the answers (Forms 10 and 11) and the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage and Waiver of Service of Summons (Form 17) have no oath or notary block. We did not review Affidavit 5 or the judgment entry forms. Ohio authorizes online notarization (R.C. 147.63), but we found no official statement on whether Ohio courts accept remotely notarized divorce filings, so ask the clerk before you pay for one. Checked against published court forms on October 15, 2026; form revisions change.

We check every one of these links automatically, and we would rather hear it from you than find it next week. Tell us and we will fix it and say when. Sources last checked: 19 October 2026.
Where a form has no revision date or no direct link, the row still appears, because a number you can quote at a courthouse counter is useful on its own. We do not host, sell or alter any of these forms; every link goes to the state’s own file.
