What is Postnup Mediation in Massachusetts?

Marriage is an evolving journey, and life’s unexpected changes can bring both financial opportunities and challenges. Postnuptial mediation provide a pathway for couples in Massachusetts to address these financial changes proactively while reinforcing trust and understanding in their relationship.

A postnup mediated agreement (also know as a post-nuptial agreement or marital agreement) is a legal document created after marriage. It allows couples to outline how their assets, debts, and financial responsibilities will be handled during the marriage or in the event of separation.

Unlike prenups, postnups agreements in Massachusetts address circumstances that arise after marriage—helping couples navigate new dynamics with clarity and mutual respect.

Our postnup mediators in Massachusetts serve Boston and all cities and towns in the Commonwealth.
