All marriages end—by death or divorce. Without a premarital agreement, the terms of a divorce are dictated by statutes and legal precedent, which may not reflect the parties’ intentions or personal sense of fairness and can lead to uncertainty, conflict, and costly litigation. In many family circumstances, a premarital agreement is a prudent form of risk management that provides clarity and peace of mind.

 

While negotiating a premarital agreement may not feel romantic, when approached thoughtfully and in balance, it can be an act of care—grounded in transparency, respect, and mutual understanding.

 

Through mediation, your mediator facilitates a constructive dialogue to help you and your partner identify risks, clarify expectations, and articulate shared intentions. Your respective attorneys then ensure the agreement fairly addresses those risks, clearly defines financial rights and obligations, and accurately reflects your mutual goals. The process is collaborative, non-adversarial, and purpose-driven—inviting both the head and the heart to the table.
