A prenuptial agreement can limit or eliminate spousal support obligations if properly structured and legally valid.

A prenuptial agreement can effectively address future spousal support obligations, but must meet specific legal requirements to be enforceable in Canadian courts. The agreement needs to be carefully drafted with full financial disclosure from both parties.

• Both parties must receive independent legal advice before signing
• Complete and honest disclosure of all assets and liabilities is required
• The terms must be fair and reasonable at both the time of signing and separation
• The agreement cannot leave one spouse requiring social assistance
• There must be no evidence of coercion or undue pressure

While a prenuptial agreement can help protect assets and establish support parameters, courts may still review and potentially override terms that have become significantly unfair over time or fail to meet basic support requirements under Canadian family law.
