Hello,
I got divorced 3 years ago and stayed in the matrimonial home after paying my ex-husband off. I have quite large equity in the house right now. I got re-married exactly a year ago and we didn't sign any prenuptial agreement. My present husband agreed to sign a marital agreement, so I can protect my assets, especially the matrimonial property.
I want to make sure that the agreement we sign now will be valid under Family Law Act. In the agreement I want to enter a clause stipulating that my husband will be entitled to half of the depreciation value only after 5 years of marriage, and no earlier than that. In case that our marriage falls apart prior to 5 years, he will be entitled to a specific amount of money. These are the terms I want to enter in the agreement. My question is: can this agreement be signed any time during the marriage and can one 'play' with different clauses in the agreement; in my case a specific clause what my husband would be entitled to should we separate/get divorced. It's not like we are planning on divorcing, but I just want to be able to protect my assets.
Thanks,
JO.
