There is no requirement in Ohio law for a Pre-Nuptial Agreement to be filed with any court at the time of its formation. Instead, it is typically brought forward at the time of any legal proceeding to end the marriage. At that time, the presiding court would rule on its enforceability and validity.
In order to prepare a Pre-Nuptial Agreement, the parties must both prepare and exchange a full financial disclosure and put in writing exactly what their agreements will be. Importantly, both parties should inform themselves of their legal rights, and finalize their agreement well in advance of their wedding.
First, some business matters. Our experience has taught us that putting financial agreements in writing assures that we understand our mutual expectations. To that end, please click on "fee agreement" and proceed.
