What is a Cohabitation Agreement?

A Cohabitation Agreement is a legal document for unmarried couples who wish to live together without getting married. 

It is a formal way for couples to protect their individual interests and provide clarity on issues that may arise if they split up. An agreement can outline the rights and obligations of each party during the cohabitation, and also in the event of the relationship ending.  The agreement can cover various aspects such as property rights, financial arrangements, responsibilities for bills and debts, and arrangements for any children.
