Marriage Contracts

Barrie Marriage Contract Lawyers

In Ontario two persons who are married to each other or who intend to marry may enter into an agreement in which they agree on their rights and obligations under the marriage or on separation. The agreement can address issues such as:

  1. Ownership in or division of property
  2. Support obligations
  3. Education and moral training of any children of the marriage

Marriage carries significant legal consequences and these consequences should be fully reviewed with your lawyer before the marriage. Your lawyer can assist you in understanding the advantages of a marriage contract and in negotiating a marriage contract.

A marriage contract is not enforceable unless it is written, signed by the parties and witnessed.
