Mediate Your Prenup
A wise person once said, “Marriage is NOT 50-50. Divorce is. Marriage HAS to be 100-100.”
If you are newly engaged, congratulations!
If one or both you have prior children, or assets, or debts, it’s a good chance to give this marriage all you have got with a prenup. TOGETHER.
No More Stigma
That’s right. In the past, “prenuptial agreement” is such an ugly word conjuring up images of stronger, more powerful spouses bullying the poorer, needy, willing-to-sign-anything-for-love spouse. That doesn’t start the marriage off right!
Let Prenups Strengthen Your Marriage
There are lots of reasons prenups can strengthen or destroy a couple. Opt for the former. Instead of traditionally hiring a lawyer to prepare a prenup to “send to the other side”, choose to mediate, or find a collaborative legal team.
Mediate Your Prenup
If both of you are on board with getting a prenup, I recommend that you hire a mediator who will help you reach an agreement. Please note that you both still need separate attorneys – a mediator CANNOT represent either of you.
