Cohabitation & Prenuptial Agreements For
Common-Law & Married Couples In Ontario
The number of common-law relationships has
increased in recent years, and this is attributed to
changes in law, social attitudes, and religious beliefs.
Although you and your partner
may have decided to live
together to avoid the potential
legal implications of
marriage/divorce, you should still
prepare a cohabitation
agreement
This document specifies each party’s rights, such as shared responsibilities, any assets
each person has, and how shared property will be divided in the event of a separation.
While a cohabitation agreement will prevent
inequality if you do separate, it can also be
modified as your relationship changes.
However, if you decide to formally marry, you’ll have to
consider a prenuptial agreement, which will ensure
assets are adequately divided in the event of a divorce.
If you require services related to cohabitation agreements, prenuptial agreements, or other areas of
family law, you can contact Pace Law Firm for a complimentary consultation.
