Having the initial conversation can be difficult, then leading in to creating a pre-nuptial agreement can put strains on a relationship. No couples want to start the marriage with a feeling of insecurity. A Fair Way Mediation can help mediate and draft the prenuptial agreement, explaining to both parties how it works and how it benefits them both.
