Can I enter into a Marriage Contract after we get married?
By: Steven Benmor, B.Sc., LL.B., Family Lawyer

“Can I enter into a Marriage Contract after we get married?” The best time to enter into a Marriage Contract is a few months before the marriage.
Once married, each spouse immediately obtains Family law rights which can only be waived or limited by a Marriage Contract that is signed by both spouses.
If the Marriage Contract is prepared after marriage and one of the spouses refuses to sign it, these rights will not be limited or waived.
