Pre-Marital Mediation
Three of the most important facets of life tend to include relationships, finances, and children (not necessarily in that order!). Despite this, we are rarely taught how to communicate in relationships, how to handle finances and address budgeting, and how to parent.
Pre-marital mediation (also known as prenuptial mediation) is becoming increasingly popular, particularly with younger couples. This process has been rebranded as "marriage planning" and serves as an important adjunct to financial planning in your marriage.
Pre-marital mediation offers significant flexibility based on what the engaged couple wants to negotiate. Common topics include:
-
Protecting assets brought into the marriage (what I bring in is mine, what you bring in is yours)
-
Provisions for stay-at-home parents to ensure equal access to investments and retirement options
-
Protection of business interests (some companies require these agreements in their operating agreements)
-
Alimony provisions in the event of divorce
