Understanding the Collaborative Law Process For Premarital Agreements

P. Lindley Bain | September 3, 2019

Transcript

In the collaborative law process, the process is anchored by the parties’ goals and the parties define what success looks like and not the lawyers.

In a collaboratively negotiated premarital agreement, both parties hire a collaborative attorney to advocate for him or herself. A collaboratively negotiated premarital agreement allows or gives a platform for the parties to have premarital financial discussions prior to getting married, about their financial goals, their financial priorities, their financial values.

The most important thing when couples are wanting a premarital agreement is for them to understand what they want to accomplish by that premarital agreement in their own terms. My goal in helping clients negotiate premarital agreements is for them to have more successful relationships and marriages.
