Prenuptial Agreement Mediation Allows Open Communication About Delicate Issues

Providence Mediation’s family mediator is a family law attorney who is experienced in dealing with prenuptial agreements. Using cooperative mediation to reach a prenuptial agreement allows for honest, respectful communication at a very important time in the relationship. Mediation of a prenuptial agreement can involve the expression of hope and promise, along with justified concern and prudent planning.

Prenuptial agreements can, but do not need to, address a large variety of issues that are important to couples before taking their vows. Prenuptial agreements typically include provisions in the event of divorce, including property division, disposition of retirement funds, pre-marital assets, inheritance, spousal support and decedent issues. Prenuptial agreements might also cover concerns during the marriage, such as whether both mother and father will work after children are born and planned approaches to spending and saving. Prenuptial agreements regarding custody or child support in the event of a divorce cannot be upheld in Indiana.
