Prenuptial Agreements

Prenuptial Agreement lawyers serving Akron

Serving Akron, Canton, Summit County, Portage and Medina, Ohio.

At Hoover Kacyon, LLC, we understand that marriage is more than an emotional commitment — it is also a significant legal and financial union. While wedding planning often centers on celebration, it’s equally important to plan for your long-term financial well-being. For many individuals entering marriage later in life, after building a career or raising children from a prior relationship, a prenuptial agreement offers protection, clarity, and peace of mind.



We help clients throughout Akron, Canton, Summit, Portage, and Medina Counties prepare prenuptial agreements that reflect their goals and protect what matters most, while preserving the excitement and meaning of their upcoming marriage.

Understanding Prenuptial Agreements in Ohio

A prenuptial agreement, also known as an antenuptial agreement, is a written contract entered into before marriage that outlines how property, assets, debts, and spousal support will be handled in the event of divorce or death. These agreements are especially valuable when one or both spouses bring separate property, children from previous relationships, or business interests into the marriage.



Ohio courts will uphold prenuptial agreements if they are executed voluntarily, with full financial disclosure, and without coercion. Both parties should have the opportunity to review the agreement with independent counsel well before the wedding date. Our attorneys help ensure your agreement is clear, balanced, and enforceable under Ohio law.

When to Call a Prenuptial Agreement Attorney

If you are engaged and considering a prenuptial agreement, the best time to consult an attorney is well in advance of the wedding date. Waiting until the last minute can add stress and may jeopardize the agreement’s enforceability. Whether you are bringing substantial assets into the marriage or simply want to protect your future financial independence, a prenuptial agreement offers peace of mind and clear expectations.



At Hoover Kacyon, LLC, we make the process simple, respectful, and legally sound so you can focus on your future with confidence.

FAQS

  • Do I need a prenuptial agreement if I already trust my partner?

    Prenups are not about distrust. They are about planning. A clear agreement can reduce conflict, protect children from prior relationships, and ensure that both partners understand financial expectations from the beginning.

  • Can a prenup protect a business or family inheritance?

    Yes. A well-drafted prenuptial agreement can specify that ownership or future growth of a business remains separate property, as well as exclude inheritance or gifts from division in divorce.

  • Will courts enforce prenuptial agreements in Ohio?

    Yes, if the agreement meets legal standards. It must be entered voluntarily, signed well before the wedding, and based on full financial disclosure. We ensure compliance with all Ohio requirements.

  • Can we include spousal support terms in a prenup?

    Yes. You can agree in advance to waive or limit spousal support. Courts may enforce those provisions if they are reasonable and do not create unfair hardship at the time of divorce.

  • What happens if we never divorce — is the prenup still useful?

    Even if the agreement is never used in court, having it can bring clarity and alignment during the marriage, particularly when managing separate finances, business ventures, or estate planning.

  • What if I’ve worked with another attorney before?

    That’s not a problem. We frequently take over or review existing cases. We’ll request your file, assess where things stand, and build a plan to move forward with continuity and care.
