Benefits of a Prenuptial Agreement

Ohio Prenuptial Agreement Attorney

Drawing up prenuptial agreements can be a sensitive issue that needs to be handled carefully. While planning a wedding should involve romance and excitement, negotiation of a prenuptial agreement is a pragmatic step you might consider as you begin a new life with your spouse.

Prenuptial Agreement Issues and Requirements

You and your intended spouse should each be represented by your own lawyer when creating a prenuptial agreement to be enforceable in Ohio. For the document to be legal and enforceable, certain conditions must be met:

• Agreement without fraud, duress, or coercion
• Full disclosure, understanding, and knowledge of the value and extent of a future spouse’s property
• Terms do not promote divorce or profiting therefrom

Knowledgeable Advocacy

Whether your prenuptial agreement is for a second marriage or a significant disparity in your ages, your legal counsel must be knowledgeable. I have drafted many prenuptial agreements addressing specific issues. A prenuptial can detail property division, debts, and financial support should the marriage end. The document can also determine the manner in which finances are handled during the marriage.

Throughout the process, I will serve both as your advocate and information source. Entering into an agreement of this magnitude requires solid understanding of the details. My goal is to ensure that prior to embarking upon married life, any agreement drafted meets all of the potential needs of my client. If children are involved on either side, their financial interests must be considered as well.
