A prenup you build together, virtually
Online prenup services give you a template. Hiring two attorneys first can turn your engagement into a negotiation. Virtual Prenup is the middle path: a few calm, structured sessions with a neutral mediator where the two of you decide your terms together, ending in a written term sheet you each take to your own attorney. I’m Sara Khan, and I work with couples anywhere in the U.S.

What couples decide in prenup mediation
You choose which topics belong in your agreement. The most common:
Separate & shared property
What each of you brings in, and how property you build together will be treated.
Homes & real estate
A home one of you already owns, a future purchase, and how contributions are counted.
Debt
Student loans, credit cards, and business debt, and who is responsible for what.
Businesses & careers
A business one of you owns or plans to start, and how a career pause would be handled.
Faith & family terms
Religious or cultural terms, such as a mahr, written out clearly so they can be reviewed and honored.
Support & the future
Whether spousal support is addressed, and how you’ll revisit the agreement as life changes.
Start the marriage on the same side
A prenup conversation is really a conversation about money, trust, and the future. Done well, it brings couples closer. In mediation you hear each other’s priorities directly, without positions being passed back and forth through lawyers.
Faith-based terms deserve special care. Terms like a mahr are often left unwritten or vague, which can make them hard to honor later. Mediation gives you room to spell them out in plain language before an attorney drafts the final agreement.
I’m a mediator, not your lawyer. Prenup rules vary by state, so each of you should have your own attorney review the term sheet and draft the final agreement, ideally well before the wedding.
From first call to a written agreement
Free consultation
A 15-minute call to see whether mediation is a fit and how much time you have before the wedding.
Private intake
A short confidential call with each of you, plus a simple worksheet for listing assets, debts, and priorities.
Joint sessions
Usually two or three focused virtual sessions to work through each topic and agree on terms.
Written term sheet
A clear Memorandum of Understanding each of you takes to your own attorney for review and drafting.
Prenup pricing
One flat fee for most couples, shared between you. No retainer, and no surprise invoices:
- Virtual Prenup — $1,750 flat. Up to 6 hours of mediation time: a private intake call with each of you, up to two 2-hour joint virtual sessions, and a written term sheet for your attorneys. Any time beyond 6 hours is billed at $300/hour.
- Hourly — $300/hour, shared, with a 2-hour minimum per joint session, for couples who need only one conversation.
- Virtual Postnup — same package, for married couples updating terms after a move, business launch, or inheritance.
Why work with Sara
I’m married, and I believe the healthiest conversations about money happen early and honestly. My job is to make that conversation feel safe for both of you, so neither person feels steamrolled, and to keep it organized so it doesn’t take over your engagement.
In mediation I stay neutral: I don’t take sides, and I don’t tell either of you what to do. My job is to make sure every topic you care about gets discussed and that you both leave understanding what you agreed to.

- Mediation training: 40-hour basic mediation, 24-hour family mediation, and a 4-hour Virginia Judicial System orientation
- Neutral by design: I don’t practice law, give legal advice, or represent either side
Prenup mediation questions
Can we do prenup mediation if we don’t live in Virginia?
Yes. As a private mediator I work with couples anywhere in the U.S. virtually. Your attorneys, licensed in your state, review the terms and draft the final agreement.
How far before the wedding should we start?
As early as you can. Starting two to three months ahead leaves time for mediation and attorney review without last-minute pressure.
How much does prenup mediation cost?
Virtual Prenup is a flat $1,750 for up to 6 hours of mediation time, including the written term sheet. If you need more time, additional hours are $300/hour. Your attorneys’ review fees are separate.
Do we still need lawyers?
Yes, I recommend each of you have your own. I don’t give legal advice or draft the final agreement. Mediation usually makes attorney review faster and less expensive because the decisions are already made.
Can you include religious terms like a mahr?
Yes. We can discuss and write out faith-based terms in plain language so your attorneys can address them in the final agreement.
What about a postnup?
The same process works for married couples. Many couples use it after a business launch, an inheritance, or a move.
