Understanding Prenuptial Agreements in Toronto
A prenuptial agreement, also known as a prenup, is a court-enforced contract that provides legal and financial protection in a divorce. It acts as a guideline to help parties understand how assets will be divided and how parties wish to resolve differences in the event of marriage breakdown. These contracts deal with matters such as spousal support obligations, property claims, and what happens to your assets to ultimately give spouses control over their future.
However, a prenuptial agreement Toronto does not deal with child custody issues. Decisions about children must be made at the time of separation or divorce and be based on the child’s best interest.
