Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements
Mediated marital agreements that protect both partners while fostering open communication and mutual understanding.
Plan for Your Future Together
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements aren’t about planning for failure—they’re about open communication, financial transparency, and protecting both partners’ interests. Mediation provides a collaborative environment where couples can discuss sensitive financial matters with the guidance of a neutral professional, creating agreements that reflect their shared values and goals.
As a Florida Supreme Court Certified Mediator with extensive experience in family matters, Brian Gilroy helps couples navigate these important conversations with respect and clarity, ensuring both parties feel heard and protected.
What These Agreements Can Cover
Financial Protection
- Separate vs. marital property

Prenuptial vs. Postnuptial Agreements
Both serve similar purposes but are executed at different times
Prenuptial Agreement
Created and signed before marriage, a prenuptial agreement establishes clear financial expectations and protections from the start of your union. Ideal for couples who want to:
- Protect pre-marital assets
- Safeguard business interests
- Clarify separate property
- Address debt brought into marriage
Postnuptial Agreement
Created during marriage, a postnuptial agreement addresses changing circumstances or clarifies financial matters that weren’t resolved before marriage. Useful when:
- Financial circumstances change significantly
- One spouse starts a business
- Large inheritance is received
- Couples want to strengthen their marriage
Why Choose Mediation for Your Agreement
💬
Open Communication
Facilitated discussions promote honesty and understanding between partners
⚖️
Fair & Balanced
Neutral mediator ensures both parties’ interests are heard and protected
🤝
Collaborative Process
Work together rather than having separate attorneys negotiate adversarially
Important: Both Parties Need Independent Legal Review
While mediation facilitates the negotiation process, each party should have their own attorney review the final agreement before signing. This ensures the agreement is enforceable and that both parties fully understand their rights and obligations under Florida law.
