Why Plan forSpousal Support?
Spousal support, also known as alimony, is financial support paid by one spouse to the other after a separation or divorce. Planning for it early can help avoid surprises, reduce conflict, and create fair, enforceable terms.
Ohio courts consider factors such as income, earning ability, length of marriage, education, and financial needs. There is no fixed formula. That is why thoughtful planning, legal insight, and strong documentation are key.
Support can be negotiated in a prenuptial agreement, included in a separation agreement, or resolved during divorce proceedings. Whether you’re trying to protect assets or ensure long-term stability, we help you shape terms that meet your needs and fit your future.
