Cohabitation agreements

Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as a ‘common law husband or wife’.

Cohabiting isn’t the same as marriage, so unmarried couples have different legal rights and responsibilities to married couples. This can potentially result in unfairness and hardship when unmarried couples separate. A cohabitation agreement would give reassurance and protection to both parties if they split up.

How Napthens can help

We recommend that unmarried couples living together consider precisely what they intend in relation to finances when setting up home together, and in the event of separation.

A cohabitation agreement can be signed by both parties when they begin to live together and should help clarify what would happen if they were to separate.

The team at Napthens work diligently on every agreement and with all parties, to ensure the most fair document can be drafted and signed.
