In the recent decision of ๐๐ข๐ณ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ท ๐๐ข๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฏ 2025 ๐๐๐๐ 246, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice considered the intent, fairness, and circumstances under which the agreement was signed. Even though many things had changed since the agreement was originally entered into its terms remained valid and enforceable unless the parties could prove at trial that an uncontemplated change in circumstances had occurred before separation that would make its enforcement unconscionable. The court reaffirmed that such agreements are enforceable, provided they are entered into ๐๐ผ๐น๐๐ป๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐น๐, with ๐ณ๐๐น๐น ๐ณ๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐น๐ผ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ ๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ต ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐, and ๐๐ถ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป๐ณ๐น๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ผ๐ป.
