A prenuptial agreement (premarital agreement) enables the couple to establish parameters for protecting both parties as well as children in the event of death or divorce. There are many reasons for choosing to enter into a prenuptial agreement:

• Does either party have children from a previous relationship?
• Does either party have significant property or assets to bring into the marriage?
• Does either party have interests in a small business?
• Does the couple have specific parameters for how finances should be handled throughout the marriage?

A prenuptial agreement may address any of these issues and many other concerns which the parties discuss.

In order for a prenuptial agreement to be upheld, there must be full disclosure of all assets and liabilities, both parties must have had opportunity to consult a lawyer and the agreement must be established in writing and signed by both parties. Melissa Graham-Hurd has the experience necessary to help clients through the process of establishing a valid prenuptial agreement. She is also capable of negotiating post-marital agreements (postnuptial agreements) according to Ohio law.
