Is a domestic contract that deals with the issue of support enforceable?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Salzmann v. Salzmann, 2004 CanLII 5009 (ON SC):
Although in the case of Miglin v. Miglin, supra, the court was dealing with a separation agreement, it appears from the language of the court that a similar analysis should be performed by a court in dealing with any previously entered into agreement that deals with the issue of support. This would include the parties’ domestic contract.
