Marriage Agreements
If you don’t already have a cohabitation agreement and you intend on marrying, a marriage agreement is a must. Marriage Agreements are often referred to as Prenuptial Agreements. Planning to tie the knot or already engaged? Understanding the legal aspects of your marriage is essential for a solid foundation. In Ontario, marriage agreements and prenuptial agreements provide couples with clarity and protection for their future together.
What is a Marriage Agreement/Prenuptial Agreement?
A marriage agreement, commonly referred to as a prenuptial agreement or prenup, is a legal document that outlines the rights and responsibilities of spouses in the event of separation, divorce, or death. This agreement covers various aspects of the marriage, including property division, spousal support, and other important matters.
Benefits of a Marriage Agreement/Prenuptial Agreement:
Protection: A marriage agreement provides protection for both spouses by outlining how assets, debts, and other financial matters will be handled in case of divorce or death.
Clarity: It establishes clear expectations and guidelines for the marriage, reducing conflicts and misunderstandings in the future.
Preservation of Assets: It allows spouses to protect their pre-marital assets and inheritances, ensuring that they remain separate property in the event of a divorce.

FAQs
Are marriage agreements and prenups legally enforceable in Ontario?
Yes. In Ontario, a marriage contract or prenuptial agreement is legally enforceable if it meets the requirements under the Family Law Act. It must be in writing, signed by both parties, and witnessed.
For the agreement to hold up in court, both parties should provide full financial disclosure and obtain independent legal advice before signing. Courts may set aside an agreement if there was pressure, misrepresentation, or lack of fairness when it was signed.
Our experienced marriage agreement lawyers at Separy Law P.C. ensure that your prenuptial or marriage agreement is clear, comprehensive, and legally sound—protecting your assets and financial interests under Ontario law.
What is a marriage agreement or prenuptial agreement in Ontario?
A marriage agreement—often called a prenuptial agreement or “prenup”—is a legally binding contract between two people who are married or planning to marry. It sets out how financial matters will be handled during the marriage and in the event of separation, divorce, or death.
Under Ontario’s Family Law Act, a marriage contract can address issues such as property ownership, division of assets, spousal support, and inheritance rights, but it cannot determine parenting arrangements or child support.
Our Ontario marriage agreement lawyers at Separy Law P.C. prepare and review marriage agreements that protect your assets and clarify financial expectations—so you can enter marriage with confidence and peace of mind.
Why should couples consider a marriage or prenuptial agreement?
A marriage or prenuptial agreement provides financial clarity and legal protection for both spouses. Without one, Ontario’s Family Law Act governs how property is divided upon separation—which may not reflect your personal wishes or contributions.
These agreements are especially useful when one or both partners:
- Own property, a business, or significant savings before marriage
- Expect to receive an inheritance or family gift
- Have children from a prior relationship
- Want to define spousal support obligations or waivers
At Separy Law P.C., our Ontario prenuptial agreement lawyers draft customized marriage agreements that minimize financial uncertainty and help prevent disputes in the future.
