Prenuptial Agreement Mediation in New York

Certified family law mediator assists prospective spouses

Increasingly, couples throughout the United States are looking to negotiate prenuptial agreements to protect each party’s interests in case their marriage ends in divorce. This makes sense for many reasons. Both prospective spouses might have substantial assets and the understanding that nothing is guaranteed, so a plan should be put in place to avert costly disputes should they decide to dissolve their legal union. Formalizing specific terms can be difficult, and couples looking for a prenup sometimes need assistance reaching consensus. At the Law Offices of Randy S. Margulis & Associates, we offer mediation services to Western New York residents who are negotiating prenuptial agreements. From offices in Williamsville and downtown Buffalo, Certified Mediator Alexandra Rockwood draws on her legal and social work experience to promote open, healthy communication as prospective spouses look to establish an equitable document.

Skillful guidance for people seeking enforceable documents addressing financial issues

Film and television portrayals often present a distorted view of prenuptial agreements as devices that only exist to guard the nest eggs of ultra-wealthy families. In reality, a prenup works for any couple where the parties want to maintain what is theirs and ensure their financial security in the event of a divorce. There are many people nearing marriage who want to discuss a prenuptial agreement but are worried about approaching the subject with their fiancé. Mediation is an excellent option for couples who require a little assistance to get the conversation started. Alexandra Rockwood guides prospective spouses through thoughtful, respectful discussions that give couples confidence about what lies ahead.
