Document background
The Online Prenuptial Agreement serves as a modern solution for Canadian couples planning to marry who wish to establish clear financial terms and property rights before their union. This document becomes particularly relevant in cases involving substantial assets, business ownership, expected inheritances, or complex financial situations. It must comply with both federal and provincial family law requirements, including the Divorce Act and provincial family property legislation. The agreement includes comprehensive financial disclosures, independent legal advice requirements, and provisions for various scenarios such as property division and support obligations. The online format makes it more accessible while maintaining legal validity through secure electronic signature protocols and compliance with provincial electronic commerce laws. This document is essential for risk management and financial planning in modern marriages, particularly given the increasing complexity of personal and business assets.
