What is Prenup Mediation in Massachusetts?

Embarking on marriage is a significant milestone. Prenup mediation in Massachusetts ensures both partners work collaboratively to begin their life journey with clarity, confidence, and mutual understanding. Prenuptial mediation offers a confidential, cost-effective approach, allowing couples to create personalized agreements that reflect their unique values and goals.

A prenup, often called an ante-nuptial agreement or pre-nuptial agreement, is a legal contract created before marriage that outlines:

  • How assets and debts will be divided in case of divorce.
  • Financial expectations and responsibilities during the marriage.
  • Provisions for spousal support when applicable

Prenups are not about expecting a marriage to fail. By fostering transparency, open dialogue, and shared expectations it can strengthen marriages!
