debra thal :
Custody of children cannot be included in a marriage contract.
For a marriage contract to stand up in Court both parties must have independent legal advice.
The contract can be signed somewhere other than BC but if it's to be binding in BC a BC lawyer must give her independent legal advice first.
As well both of you will have to make full financial disclosure.
I would suggest that you consult with a local lawyer.
What you can do to find a lawyer is one of the following things.
You can contact the BC Branch of the Canadian Bar Association and use their Lawyer Referral Service. You will be given the name of a lawyer and can consult with the lawyer and the first half hour will be $25.
Or you can check on a site called lexpert. This is a legal directory of leading lawyers and law firms throughout Canada and is well-respected by the legal community.
Here's the link to their website:

I hope that helps as a starting point.
