Prenuptial Agreement Mediation

A smarter, more collaborative way to create your prenup

If you’ve already decided to get a prenuptial agreement, the next step is choosing how to do it—and mediation is often the best, most respectful option.

Unlike the traditional route where each person hires a lawyer and negotiates from opposing sides, prenuptial mediation is a collaborative process guided by a neutral attorney-mediator. At our practice, that mediator is Talaiya Safdar, an experienced matrimonial attorney who helps couples design clear, balanced agreements rooted in understanding—not conflict.

Why Mediate Your Prenup?

It’s not adversarial

A prenup is a legal contract, but it doesn’t have to feel like a legal battle. In mediation, you work together in a respectful setting—without the pressure of two lawyers negotiating on your behalf.

Through one or more guided sessions, you’ll discuss important financial issues—like income, debt, real estate, retirement, business interests, and spousal support—and decide the terms together. Many couples continue the conversation between sessions to refine their understanding.

Once the terms are agreed upon, Talaiya Safdar drafts the prenuptial agreement as a neutral attorney-mediator. You don’t need two lawyers fighting over language. Everything is clear, fair, and based on your actual conversations.

If you’d like to have your own attorney review the agreement before signing, you can. Because all negotiation happens in mediation, the review is typically minimal and non-contentious. When review attorneys are involved and their participation is documented in the agreement, it adds another layer of enforceability under New York law.

In mediation, you’ll learn what marriage means under New York Domestic Relations Law—how it affects your income, assets, debts, retirement accounts, and even creative or business ventures—so you can make informed, intentional choices.

Mediation is significantly more cost-effective than the traditional two-attorney model. It reduces stress, speeds up the process, and helps protect your relationship in the process.

💡 Searching for a “Prenup with One Lawyer”?

Many couples search for a “prenup with one lawyer” because they want a peaceful, efficient process without hiring two separate attorneys. Here’s what that means in practice: through mediation, you and your partner work with one neutral attorney-mediator—not to represent either of you, but to guide the conversation, explain the law, and draft a clear, enforceable agreement based on mutual decisions.

If you want a prenup that reflects shared values—not adversarial bargaining—a prenup with one lawyer through mediation is the ideal solution.

Clear. Fair. Enforceable.

Our goal is to help you enter marriage with clarity, confidence, and peace of mind. A mediated prenuptial agreement isn’t about expecting failure—it’s about planning with respect, transparency, and the intention to protect both people.
