You can thank Pierre Trudeau for that. The Libs under him passed the Family Law Reform Act which made marriage contracts legal. Before that prenups were unenforceable.
Prenups arent fool proof. They have to be "reasonable" in the courts eyes. I have been told by lawyer friends there are always ways to try to get out of them. Signed it under duress, it's just not fair etc etc. Like rental agreements. Just because two people put it in writing doesnt mean the courts will give a shit.
