Document background
An International Prenuptial Agreement under Canadian law is essential for couples with international connections, substantial assets in multiple countries, or those seeking to establish clear financial arrangements before marriage with cross-border implications. This document is particularly relevant when one or both parties have international assets, business interests, or residency considerations. It must comply with Canadian federal and provincial family law requirements while ensuring enforceability in relevant foreign jurisdictions. The agreement typically includes comprehensive financial disclosure, specific provisions for international asset management, cross-border taxation considerations, and mechanisms for international dispute resolution. It requires careful consideration of both common law and civil law principles, depending on the jurisdictions involved, and must be drafted to withstand scrutiny in multiple legal systems.
