We offer mediation for many kinds of matters, including not only divorce, but also prenuptial agreements, business partnership formations and dissolutions, and a variety of other types of issues.

Prenuptial Agreements
Traditionally, people have gone to attorneys for their prenuptial agreements. No matter how gentle the attorneys try to be, the process of negotiating this type of agreement using separate counsel can be devastating.
We have found over the years that all of the financial terms of a prenuptial agreement, as well as any other matters that our clients wish to include, can be negotiated without any acrimony.
Our policy with a prenuptial agreement, as with all other agreements that we mediate, is to require our clients to have it reviewed by outside attorneys before they sign it. The end result is an agreement that is reached through a collaborative process, not an adversarial one. The mediation serves as a process which helps both parties clarify their expectations, and helps answer unspoken questions in a safe environment.

Our "A-B Contract"
One service that we offer, which we believe to be unique to Coast To Coast, is designed for couples who would prefer to stay married, but feel that divorce is inevitable. We help them agree upon the terms of their divorce and also upon what it would take to build a successful, happy marriage. We call this our "A-B Contract", because it is comprised of two agreements...a Marital Settlement Agreement, which sets forth the terms of a divorce, and a Marriage Agreement, which states in clear terms the rights and responsibilities that each spouse sees as important to a happy marriage. Couples who enter into both of these agreements almost always end up choosing to remain married. We hold onto their divorce agreement just in case they change their mind, but that rarely occurs.
