Section 55 (1) of the Family Law Act mandates that a domestic contract must be in writing, signed by the parties, and witnessed to be enforceable. However, the Ontario Court of Appeal's decision in Gallacher v. Friesen suggests a more lenient interpretation of this requirement. In this case, both parties entered into a marriage contract after receiving independent legal advice, but one party signed the agreement without a witness present. The key issue was the enforceability of the contract despite the lack of a witness, highlighting a potential shift in how strictly Section 55 (1) is applied. Anna Troitschanski from the Feldstein Family Law Group presents this topic as a significant development in family law.
