Do Cohabitation Agreements work?

Cohabitation Agreements are as effective as any other legal contract if they are properly drafted and all the formalities are met. Cohabitation Agreements should be fair, in writing and signed by both parties. Before entering into the Agreement both parties should provide full financial disclosure, and each take independent legal advice before signing.

At present, Cohabitation Agreements provide the most comprehensive legal way for couples who are not married or in a civil partnership to legally protect and clarify their rights, obligations and responsibilities both during their relationship, and in the event of it breaking down.
