TAILORED RELATIONSHIP AGREEMENTS FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

What Is a Relationship Agreement? A relationship agreement, often called a cohabitation or prenuptial agreement, sets out how you and your partner wish to manage your finances, property, and responsibilities — during the relationship and in case it ends. These agreements can prevent misunderstandings and offer peace of mind.

WHO SHOULD CONSIDER ONE?

Entering a marriage or common-law relationship
One or both partners have children from previous relationships
One or both partners have significant personal or business assets
You want to define financial obligations in advance
You belong to the LGBTQIA+ community and want to formalize non-traditional family structures

TYPES OF RELATIONSHIP AGREEMENTS WE HELP DRAFT

Prenuptial Agreements

Signed before marriage, these agreements outline how property, assets, and debts will be divided in the event of separation or divorce. They are especially valuable when one or both partners are entering the marriage with significant personal or family wealth, own a business, or have children from a previous relationship.

Cohabitation Agreements

For couples living together without being married. These contracts clarify financial responsibilities, property rights, and what happens in the event of a breakup. This is especially important in Alberta, where common-law partners may not have the same legal protections as married spouses.

Postnuptial Agreements

Created after marriage, these agreements help define how assets, income, or future inheritance would be treated if the marriage ends. Often used when financial circumstances change or if one partner starts or joins a business during the marriage.

Separation Agreements

These are used when a couple decides to separate. They outline the division of assets, spousal support, parenting arrangements, and other essential matters. A well-drafted separation agreement can avoid lengthy court processes and provide clarity during a difficult time.
