Document background
An Antenuptial Agreement After Marriage (postnuptial agreement) is utilized in Canadian jurisdictions when married couples wish to formally structure their financial and property rights differently from the default matrimonial property regime after their marriage has already taken place. This document becomes relevant when couples experience significant life changes, receive substantial inheritances, start businesses, or simply wish to clarify their financial relationships post-marriage. The agreement must comply with provincial family law legislation and requires extensive financial disclosure, independent legal advice for both parties, and proper execution to be enforceable. It typically addresses property division, support obligations, debt allocation, and can include provisions for business interests, inheritance rights, and future asset acquisition. While similar to prenuptial agreements in content, these agreements require additional scrutiny from courts due to their post-marriage timing and the existing fiduciary relationship between spouses.
