Marriage Contracts (Prenuptial Agreements) in Fletcher's Meadow, Brampton

Cohabiting couples have the parallel option of a cohabitation agreement.

Marriage Contracts questions from Fletcher's Meadow
Are marriage contracts actually enforceable in Ontario?+
Yes, when done properly: written, signed and witnessed, with honest financial disclosure and, in practice, independent legal advice on both sides. Courts can set aside contracts signed under pressure or built on hidden finances — which is exactly what the formalities protect against.
What can't a marriage contract decide?+
Parenting arrangements for children (decided at the time based on their best interests), child support obligations, and a spouse's right to possession of the matrimonial home. A contract that tries anyway invites a court to intervene.
When should we start, relative to the wedding?+
Months before, not weeks. A contract signed days before a wedding looks like pressure — and pressure is a ground to set contracts aside. Early drafting is cheap insurance.
Do you meet Fletcher's Meadow couples in the evening?+
Yes — weekday hours run to 7:00 PM, in person (about 25 minutes via Highway 410 south to Highway 403) or by Google Meet, with each partner receiving separate independent legal advice.
