Many couples are choosing to live together prior to or in lieu of marriage. A Cohabitation Agreement can serve to protect both parties’ interests regarding property and debts. The breakup of an informal relationship may still give rise to litigation if the parties do not agree regarding division of jointly and even individually held assets and debts. A Cohabitation Agreement may help avoid future litigation or protect you if litigation occurs. If you are considering sharing a residence with your significant other, please contact Schantz Fanning P.C. so we can help determine whether a Cohabitation Agreement is right for you.
