Yes, absolutely! In Canada, prenuptial and cohabitation agreements are available to couples regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. Whether you’re in a same-sex relationship, a heterosexual relationship, or any other type of relationship, you have the option to create a relationship agreement to establish legal and financial arrangements that suit your needs and protect your interests.
Couples in queer relationships have the same rights and options as any other couple when it comes to creating legal documents such as cohabitation agreements or prenuptial agreements. These agreements can help establish expectations, rights, and responsibilities within the relationship and can address matters such as property division, support, and other issues that are important to you and your partner.
Regardless of your sexual orientation or gender identity, having a prenup or a cohabitation agreement can provide peace of mind and clarity for you and your partner, ensuring that you both understand your rights and obligations within the relationship and in the event of a breakup or other life changes.

I founded Jointly because I want to empower more Canadians with the knowledge and tools to create relationship agreements that work for them, at a price they can afford. My big dream? That reaching more Canadians with Jointly ultimately keeps more families out of the court system when relationships breakdown, which can be slow, expensive and traumatic. (I may or may not have personal experience with this 😅)
When I'm not lawyering, I'm most likely hiking with my dogs, kayaking the coastal waters around North Vancouver, or hitting the sauna and cold plunge.
