Valid Marital Agreements in Ohio

Each state has its own laws governing marital agreements. Ohio recognizes prenuptial agreements in divorce proceedings. However, Ohio law prohibits married couples from contracting with each other after a marriage, so postnuptial agreements are not allowed. There are specific requirements for a prenuptial agreement to be considered valid. It is important to make sure your agreement complies with all laws and regulations.

The conditions for a valid agreement in Ohio include:

• Terms that do not encourage divorce
• Full disclosure regarding the nature and value of all property
• Each party enters into the agreement without coercion, duress, or fraud
• Agreement signed prior to the date of the marriage

There are other steps you can take to make sure your agreement is valid and will be upheld in possible future divorce proceedings. You can help ensure the validity of a prenuptial agreement by having each spouse review the agreement with his or her own lawyer. Having your own legal representation is important to ensure that your rights and best interests are protected.
