Join a Collaborative Family Law Team – Domestic Relations Paralegal Opportunity
Location: Columbus, Ohio | In-person role
Aspen Careers is partnering with a well-regarded litigation and family law practice in Columbus to add an experienced Domestic Relations Paralegal. This role is a high hiring priority due to upcoming trial demands and supports sophisticated, higher-asset domestic matters within a busy litigation environment.
This is an excellent opportunity for a self-motivated paralegal who knows domestic work and family law well, enjoys responsibility, and wants to be trusted with meaningful case involvement—not just administrative tasks.
Why You Should Apply
Work on higher-asset domestic relations matters, not high-volume cases
Handle discovery from start to finish, including follow-up and review
Draft pleadings and assist with temporary orders and trial preparation
Prepare subpoenas, start balance sheets, and review financial documentation
Collaborate closely with the lead attorney on strategy and case progression
Communicate with clients regarding case status when attorneys are unavailable
Attend hearings when appropriate based on the case and your experience
Enjoy predictable hours with minimal overtime
The Ideal Candidate
3+ years of domestic relations experience preferred (more or less considered depending on skill level)
Strong understanding of:
Domestic discovery processes
Financial statements, bank records, and asset-related issues
Experience drafting pleadings and affidavits in domestic cases
Organized, proactive, and able to work independently
Comfortable managing deadlines and following cases proactively
Professional client communication skills (without providing legal advice)
Able to pass a BCI or FBI criminal background check
About the Firm
Litigation-focused practice with a strong reputation
Handles both employment litigation (predominantly plaintiff-side) and sophisticated family law matters
Known for quality work, preparation, and professionalism
In-office team environment with positive attorney–staff relationships
Regular social activities; paralegals are included but never required to attend
What’s in It for You?
Competitive compensation
Health, dental, and vision insurance (firm pays 75% of employee health premium)
HSA enrollment option
Employer-paid life insurance policy
401(k) with safe harbor contribution after one year
Paid time off
Standard hours: 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., 37.5-hour work week
Overtime or weekend work is rare and typically limited to trial prep
