Marriage and Cohabitation Agreements

Marriage and cohabitation agreements are important legal tools that provide clarity, protection, and peace of mind for couples entering or continuing a committed relationship. Whether a couple is planning to marry, choosing to live together, or already sharing a life, these agreements allow partners to define their financial rights and obligations with foresight and fairness.

​

Drafted with the guidance of senior family law lawyers, such agreements are tailored to reflect each couple’s unique circumstances while ensuring compliance with the law. They address a wide range of issues, including property ownership, debt responsibility, financial support, and the division of assets in the event of separation or divorce. By setting expectations in advance, couples can reduce uncertainty, avoid conflict, and protect the interests of both partners.

​

Marriage and cohabitation agreements are not only for those with significant assets. They are valuable for couples at every stage of life who wish to establish clear understandings and minimize the potential for disputes. When drafted properly, these agreements promote transparency, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to future planning.

​

At their core, marriage and cohabitation agreements are about empowerment—helping couples make informed decisions about their relationship, finances, and future. With the support of experienced family law counsel, couples can approach these agreements with confidence, knowing their interests and intentions are carefully considered and legally protected.
