DOMESTIC CONTRACTS

Separation Agreement Lawyers—supporting effective and collaborative drafting of Cohabitation Agreements, Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements to ensure you are protected.

Domestic contracts, often referred to as “Prenuptial Agreements,” are an essential part of Ontario family law. With many couples waiting longer to marry, accumulating significant assets before marriage, and the rise of second and third relationships, these agreements have become increasingly important. Domestic Contracts allow couples to establish clear terms for property division and support, whether they plan to marry, already married, or simply live together.

At Taerk Family Law, we ensure that our clients fully understand their legal rights and obligations. Our goal is to help you protect your assets, income, and children while creating agreements that are legally sound and fair.  Not all lawyers can draft effective and enforceable contracts, it is essential you find an experienced law firm like us to assist you.

Types of Domestic Contracts:

  • Cohabitation Agreements: For couples living together without plans to marry, outlining property division and support arrangements.
  • Prenuptial Agreements: For couples preparing to marry, addressing financial arrangements, support and property division in case of separation.
  • Postnuptial Agreements: For married couples who wish to formalize terms after marriage.
  • Separation Agreements: For couples ending their relationship, detailing property division, support, parenting arrangements and other key matters.
