Gerald Jay Babbitt
Gerald “Jay” Babbitt, a partner at Babbitt & Dahlberg, has spent more than 30 years as an Ohio divorce lawyer earning the respect and trust of his clients along with the central Ohio legal community. Known for his no-nonsense negotiating skills, anyone across the table from Jay knows he has zero tolerance for dishonesty. As a certified OSBA Family Relations Law Specialist, he has a notable track record for securing favorable judgments for his clients, inside and outside the courtroom, primarily for cases involving high income, complex property division, prenuptial agreements, spousal support, child support and child custody. While a divorce lawyer by trade, Jay loves marriage and has been married to his wife, Jamie, for more than 30 years. Together they have four children and four very active grandchildren, all of whom live close to their home in Upper Arlington. Avid dog lovers, Jay and Jamie have two West Highland Terriers and are usually hosting at least two grand-dogs.
