Polyamorous Canadians - Legal Rights & Prenup Issues

Looking to speak with Canadians for article! Hi! I am a reporter writing for Xtra magazine about how Canadian families with more than two parents navigate the legal aspects of their relationships. As it currently stands, it's illegal under the Canadian Criminal Code to be in a marriage-like relationship with more than one person, punishable by up to 5 years in prison. Because of that, people face barriers in navigating prenup/cohabitation agreements in situations with more than two partners, meaning it's extremely complex to navigate things like property division, prenups or obligations about child custody/separation if a relationship splits up. I'm interested in speaking with any Canadians with poly/non traditional relationship structures, who might want to share a bit about how this factors into their family planning, or what it means to them as they consider the legal rights they might have in a polycule or relationship structure that might have more than one member in the future. I'm interested in speaking with people at all stages, whether you're already in a relationship structure with more than two people and want to share how you feel about the barriers you might face legally long-term, or also to people who might not currently be in a relationship but who are thinking about how this situation could impact a future partnership. If anyone would like to speak with me as part of this article, please feel free to DM me here, or email me [email redacted] I can share more details. Thank you all!
