Verification that both parties provided complete and accurate financial information.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a marriage contract review take?
Most reviews are completed within 3-5 business days, depending on the complexity of the agreement. Rush reviews are available if you're facing a tight deadline.
Can I use the same lawyer as my partner?
No. Ontario law requires that each party have independent legal advice from separate lawyers to ensure the contract is enforceable.
What if I already signed the contract?
We can still review it to help you understand your rights and obligations. If there are serious issues, we can advise on whether the contract can be challenged or set aside.
How much does a marriage contract review cost?
Fees typically range from $1,500 to $3,500 depending on complexity. We provide transparent pricing after an initial consultation.
Can a marriage contract be changed after signing?
Yes, but both parties must agree to the changes in writing, and each must receive independent legal advice on the amendments.
