Prenuptial Agreements and Marriage Contracts

Entering marriage or moving in with your partner is an exciting milestone. While romance takes center stage, understanding the legal implications of your new chapter is equally important. Your Ontario family lawyers at Nihang Law are here to help you understand the intricacies of marriage and provide clarity on cohabitation and prenuptial agreements.

What are Prenuptial Agreements (Marriage Contracts) and Cohabitation Agreements?

A prenuptial agreement in Ontario, also known as a marriage contract, is a legal document created before or at the start of a marriage. It outlines each spouse’s rights and responsibilities during the marriage and establishes how assets and financial matters will be handled in the event of a separation, divorce, or death.

Cohabitation Agreements: For couples who are not married but living together, a cohabitation agreement serves a similar purpose. Should the couple later marry, this agreement can either remain in effect or be replaced with a new marriage contract in Ontario.

Key Elements in Prenuptial and Cohabitation Agreements

At Nihang Law, our prenup lawyers draft agreements that provide clarity and peace of mind by addressing key elements such as:

1. Asset Protection: Clearly define how property and financial assets will be divided, including exclusions from equalization payments.
2. Debt and Financial Management: Establish rules for managing debts, expenses, and income during the marriage or cohabitation.
3. Personal Expectations: Outline roles and responsibilities within the relationship to avoid misunderstandings.

With the help of a qualified prenuptial agreement lawyer, couples can ensure their agreements are comprehensive, legally sound, and reflective of their unique circumstances.
