Sophisticated Legal Guidance For Ohio Postnuptial Agreements
Postnuptial agreements are similar to prenuptial agreements, but they are created sometime – often years – after the marriage begins. Postnuptial agreements were not enforceable in Ohio until Senate Bill 210 was signed into law and became effective in March 2023.
At Greco Law, our attorneys understand what can and cannot be included in a valid postnup, and what it takes to make sure it is fair and enforceable. We have been representing the interests of clients in Dublin, Columbus and the surrounding areas since 1993 with sophisticated, responsive legal guidance.
Do You Need A Postnuptial Agreement In Ohio?
While not every couple needs a postnuptial agreement, they are practical and necessary tools for a couple’s financial and emotional protection, especially for:
- High net worth couples: Couples with significant wealth, business interests or investments may require a postnup to clarify how those assets would be divided if the marriage ends. This could help preserve individual wealth and avoid lengthy litigation.
- Second marriages: In second marriages with blended families, especially when there are children from previous relationships involved, postnuptial agreements can help protect each spouse’s individual assets and make sure that the children are protected.
- Career sacrifices: If one spouse is about to sacrifice their career and earnings potential to support their family or take care of the couple’s children, a postnuptial agreement can protect them financially in the event of a future dissolution or divorce.
- Asset protection: When one-half of a couple experiences significant changes in their financial circumstances due to a large inheritance, lottery winnings or successful business launch, a postnuptial agreement can prevent those assets from becoming part of the marital estate.
At Greco Law, our lawyers are particularly sensitive to our clients’ concerns and proactive about supporting your goals.
