PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENT

Prenuptial Agreements are a useful financial and estate planning tool. They give couples the opportunity to plan their family’s financial futures.  Without a Prenuptial Agreement, the law will define how assets and debts are divided and what support should be. With a Prenuptial Agreement, you can to tailor a plan that meets your individual needs. A mediator or collaborative attorney can guide the discussion, offering you an opportunity to voice your concerns and have your issues addressed.  With the right guidance, and the willingness of the couple, a Prenuptial Agreement can be crafted in a way that is fair to both parties.

DIVORCE

When you get married, you hope it will last forever. There may be disappointment and resentment when a marriage ends, but that does not mean the divorce must turn into an adversarial legal battle.  It is possible to have an amicable divorce that ends the marriage with integrity. What it takes is two people who are willing and able to face what has happened in the marriage and who want to find a solution that is best for both of them. Every conflict is unique and every relationship faces its own set of challenges. A mediator or collaborative attorney will identify the issues, uncover what is important to each party, and craft a solution that satisfies their needs.
