A template service allows you to create a legal prenup or marriage contract through an online process that uses guided questions and information you provide to prepare an agreement, rather than having a lawyer draft the document. It is normally much faster and more affordable.

The easiest, fastest, and most affordable way to create a prenuptial agreement in Canada is to use Legal Line’s prenuptial agreement template.

Why should you use a template?

Using a template can be much less expensive than having a lawyer draft the agreement. If properly completed, signed by both parties, and witnessed, a template-based agreement will meet the formal requirements of the Family Law Act (FLA) and is considered a legal document.

What to consider when using a template

When drafting their own agreement, couples should be aware of several important issues:

• The agreement must reflect Ontario-specific rules, such as the prohibition on limiting matrimonial home possession rights or dealing with future child custody (parenting time, decision-making responsibility, or child support) and support.
• The agreement should contain an itemized financial disclosure schedule which acts as key evidence needed to defend the agreement later against a non-disclosure challenge under the FLA.
• Both parties should consider obtaining independent legal advice (ILA) before signing.
