What Is aPostnuptial Agreement?
A postnuptial agreement is a written contract between spouses made after marriage. It outlines how property, debts, and income will be treated during the marriage and in the event of separation, divorce, or death. These agreements can address everything from real estate and retirement accounts to spousal support and family inheritances.
In Ohio, postnuptial agreements are legally enforceable if they are entered into freely, fully disclose each spouse’s assets, and are fair at the time of execution. They can be especially helpful in second marriages, blended families, or situations involving business ownership or significant changes in wealth.
We guide you through the process with clarity and respect so that the final agreement reflects your shared goals, not fear, pressure, or confusion.

FrequentlyAsked Questions
Is a postnuptial agreement enforceable in Ohio?
Yes, as long as both spouses enter it voluntarily, disclose their assets fully, and the terms are fair. We help you meet all legal standards so your agreement holds up in court.
What’s the difference between a prenup and a postnup?
A prenuptial agreement is made before marriage. A postnuptial agreement is made after. Both can address property, debt, and support but must meet Ohio’s legal requirements.
Can we use a postnuptial agreement to fix financial disagreements?
Yes. Postnuptial agreements often help couples restore trust and avoid future conflict by clearly defining how money is handled moving forward.
Can a postnup help protect my business or inheritance?
Absolutely. We help you carve out separate property and include protections so your business or inheritance remains yours in the event of divorce.
Do we need separate attorneys to sign a postnup?
It’s strongly recommended. We represent one spouse only and advise the other to get independent legal review to ensure fairness and prevent future disputes.
