How about marriage contract....do you have it or will you have it....

We didn't have a prenuptial agreement due to the fact that neither of us are going into our marriage with any significant wealth.

Ashley...I think t is very fair! Sometime women get upset, that man wants to have marriage contract, to protect what he already have, but when you are woman and you have something to protect...you understand.

Anyway...all what you make after marriage will stay in marriage.

We separated in our contract, that I never ever would ask anything from my husband business ( if we would divorce ). I would even recommend..couples...who have things in credit...you buy house together cars with loan, you have children. To take a life insurance for both partners. So...if something would happen, you would have some support! Since today, life insurance is very affordable.

I asked him for a prenup. i have money saved that i dont want to lose.... he agreed he didnt mind when i brought it up. he said thats fair.

View quoted message My understanding is that to ensure it is valid, if someone is giving up rights that they already have, such as might be the case when a common law partner signs a marriage contract, they would need to be given something in consideration.

We didn't but only because the default, legislated marriage contract works for us. And that's the thing; It isn't that marriages that don't draft a prenup don't have an agreement on how things will be split, they are just opting for the government's "prenup" as outlined in the legislation.

Tori...I understand..When starting relationship you are not in the same material status it is making sense to want protect what you already have. Imagine you would have made million dollar business, before meeting your husband. Makes sense for me, that people want to protect what they have made with their own work, alone.

No marriage contract/ prenup for us!

We both agree that this is for the long haul and that it's till death do us part

Besides, we want kids and you would never want your kid to have one parent that can afford everything while the other can't so I don't see a need for one unless you aren't having kids or if you aren't in it for the rest of your lives.

We won't be having a marriage contract.

Cynthia...That is my situation. My partner with who we are living together for 7 years, had business before we met. So, he wants to protect it. I am ok with it. Anyway...all the new assets what we buy in family is together.

If I would have business before marriage I would want protect it as well.

Of course...in your interest it would be nicer no to sign it But for your partner it would be better if you sign it!

Valerie..I agree...it is depending from situation!

We are suppose to have a prenup. We have been engaged since dec 24,2017, mariage date is August 01,2020 and he has yet to go get the papers done...


I guess time will tell if I’ll be signing one.
He asked for one since he has a business That he started way before he met me. Also owns a lot.

Had myself or my husband come from a wealthy family or had assets to protect, we probably would've gone with a prenup.

Since we don't fall in either of those categories, we didn't sign anything. We've also been together for almost 9 years, so it didn't feel necessary.

We don't need one....If anyone has been living together already for a year or two (depending on the province), most couples would be considered common law. I wonder how any common law period would legally impact a pre-nup/wedding contract though.

We had no need for one- I have more income potential than he does, but I also have student debt that he didn’t have. Neither of us owned anything significant before we got married, and neither of us is planning on staying home to raise children (thus slowing down or stopping our careers). I would have zero issue in signing one though - neither of us would seek alimony in a divorce, and now everything of value that we own was purchased in the marriage.

We didn't do the marriage contract. We were together for many years. There wasn't any reason to go this path with our decision.

We won't be having a marriage contract. We've been together for quite a few years and have children together. As long as the contract is fair I see no reason not to have one. If they go through the trouble of making one I would have a lawyer look it over before I would sign it though.
