Shaikh Law Firm told that it is a formal prenuptial agreement in Toronto between two individuals regarding financial consequences should their marriage end. While the laws on divorce can easily take the place of a prenuptial, many couples do not find them satisfactory and want better control, albeit within the legal limits. A prenuptial agreement or prenup can be a practical tool for easy handling of future issues and concerns. It is a straightforward look at the couple's priorities and values especially regarding money and ownership, both topics that are often avoided during the relationship. Because of this, the couple would have a clearer understanding about their individual financial intentions and assets.
A well-written prenuptial agreement can also facilitate divorce in case it happens and help prevent unnecessary arguments and misunderstanding. It also offers a certain measure of legal protection. It can, for example, ensure a smoother process in case of property division and/or distribution during a divorce, protect the ownership of residence during the marriage and protect a partner against the responsibility of premarital debts and alimony obligations where they are applicable.
Prenuptial and the sunset clause.
A prenuptial agreement can also set certain conditions, such as the 'sunset clause' where the agreement will be deemed invalid if the couple remains married for a specific number of years. It can also set the type of resolution (arbitration or mediation, for example) the couple would prefer to use in case of a dispute regarding the prenup itself. It cannot, however, set conditions that may be illegal, unfair or those that may only be determined by the court of law, such as alimony, child visitation rights and child custody. This is who, a well written prenuptial agreement is for.
When a prenuptial agreement is important
A prenuptial is an important consideration in many situations, such as when: a) A person is wealthier than the other. A prenup can help protect the assets you have accumulated prior to the relationship and can also be an assurance that the other person is not marrying you for the money. In some states, this type of prenuptial agreement can also help put a cap to how much alimony is payable.
