Marriage is considered to be an economic partnership in Canada, therefore the value of all property and assets accrued during a marriage equally belongs to both partners. In the event of a marriage or relationship ending, a significant concern is how those properties and assets will be divided. If a marriage agreement was established the division of property may be more straightforward, however you may still need a lawyer to review the agreement in order to make sure that the terms are legally-binding. Without a pre-established agreement, division of property can be a complicated and difficult process, and you may not be sure what you are entitled to, or what your spouse may be entitled to.
