Our Approach to Prenuptial Agreements in Ontario

Prenuptial agreements allow couples to decide in advance how to handle property, debt, and financial matters if the relationship ends. In Ontario, these marriage contracts are enforceable under the Family Law Act. A valid prenuptial agreement can give both parties peace of mind by clearly stating their intentions, as long as both partners provide full financial disclosure and sign freely without pressure.

We guide clients through each phase of the process, encouraging transparency and healthy conversation from start to finish. At each point, our aim is to give practical legal advice that empowers you to take control of your financial future while preserving the trust between you and your partner.

A well-prepared prenuptial agreement in Ontario goes beyond listing current assets. It can address ownership of future property, business interests, or financial support of children from a previous marriage. Since Ontario family law shapes how these contracts work, we ensure your agreement meets local requirements so it stands up if it’s ever reviewed by a court. You’ll have clear insights at every stage and the support to ask any questions that come up along the way.

What to Expect from the Prenuptial Agreement Process

When you begin the process with a prenuptial agreement attorney in Ontario, you can expect a structured and supportive experience designed for clarity and mutual understanding. 

Here’s what the process typically includes:

• Initial consultation: Meet with a lawyer to share your objectives, ask questions, and discuss your unique situation and priorities.
• Disclosure review: Both partners provide complete and honest financial disclosure to encourage trust and help prevent later challenges.
• Agreement drafting: We prepare a clear document detailing how you intend to manage property, debt, and related issues.
• Individual review: We recommend each party receives separate legal advice to ensure the agreement is fair, well-understood, and more likely to be enforceable in court.
• Finalization: When both parties agree and sign, the contract becomes legally binding in Ontario, provided all requirements are met under the Family Law Act.

FAQs

Are prenuptial agreements enforceable in Ontario?

Courts in Ontario generally enforce these contracts if both people made full, honest financial disclosure and signed voluntarily. Proper legal advice further supports enforceability.

While not strictly required by law, separate legal advice for both parties increases clarity, fairness, and the likelihood a court will uphold the contract.

Can you change a prenuptial agreement after marriage?

You can amend or revoke your marriage contract together after the wedding as long as you both agree and meet legal requirements for a valid change.

What happens if you do not have a prenuptial agreement?
