Une rangée par sujet catalogue, pour les deux instruments. Une rangée vide est une lacune du dossier, pas une affirmation d'absence de loi.
formalities
Interspousal contracts must meet the Act’s writing and acknowledgement rules, including prescribed form in many cases.
acknowledgment
Interspousal contracts must meet the Act’s writing and acknowledgement rules, including prescribed form in many cases.
property
Saskatchewan family property is a provincial sharing scheme with its own exemptions, not Ontario NFP and not BC FLA Part 5 labels.
permitted_subjects
A marriage contract typically addresses property, debts, and sometimes support between spouses. Public-order limits (Québec family patrimony; child support everywhere) still apply.
spousal_support
Spousal support is adjacent, not identical, to family-property contracting.
child_support
Child support remains under child-support law, not a private exclusion clause.
voluntariness
The Act addresses when a court may decline to enforce an interspousal contract, including fairness and disclosure issues.
financial_disclosure
Canadian family agreements are often judged partly on whether each party knew the assets and debts. This pack does not invent a U.S. statutory disclosure exhibit list.
independent_counsel
Canadian family agreements often stand or fall partly on whether each party could get advice. That is not a uniform statutory certificate across provinces, and Québec notarial counseling is a different professional model from common-law ILA letters.
timing
A first draft delivered immediately before a wedding is a voluntariness and understanding fact. Canada does not use a single U.S.-style statutory waiting period in these packs.
limitations
Do not treat a Saskatchewan two-year cohabitation as a Swedish samboförhållande or an Ontario FLA Part I spouse.
formalities
Because 'spouse' can include two years of cohabitation, a cohabitation agreement in Saskatchewan often sits inside the same family-property statute as a marriage contract.
acknowledgment
Because 'spouse' can include two years of cohabitation, a cohabitation agreement in Saskatchewan often sits inside the same family-property statute as a marriage contract.
property
The Act’s spouse definition commonly reaches persons who have cohabited continuously for at least two years. Unmarried partners can have statutory family-property claims. That is not Ontario and not Québec.
permitted_subjects
A cohabitation agreement typically addresses property and debts between unmarried partners. It cannot manufacture a statutory regime the province does not confer, and it cannot replace a will.
spousal_support
Spousal support is adjacent, not identical, to family-property contracting.
child_support
Child support remains under child-support law, not a private exclusion clause.

Canadian family agreements often stand or fall partly on whether each party could get advice. That is not a uniform statutory certificate across provinces, and Québec notarial counseling is a different professional model from common-law ILA letters.
timing
A cohabitation agreement signed years into a relationship, or a 'prenup' signed while unmarried just before a wedding, raises classification and transition questions. Marriage usually moves the couple onto the marriage-contract / marital-property statute.

Do not treat a Saskatchewan two-year cohabitation as a Swedish samboförhållande or an Ontario FLA Part I spouse.
