Marriage Contracts & Cohabitation Agreements

 

A marriage contract or a cohabitation agreement can override what Ontario law would otherwise govern for property division for spouses upon separation. These types of agreements can also supersede spousal support rights or obligations.

 

Cohabitation agreements can also become a marriage contract if you should later marry. Our team of Kitchener family law lawyers has the expertise to assist you in seeking to have a cohabitation or marriage contract drafted, in order to protect your rights and interests prior to or during cohabitation and marriage.
