Cohabitation Agreements

You are here: Home »

According to the most recent Census, more couples than ever before are choosing to live together without marrying. Yet though they are not officially married, these couples frequently come to share finances, assets such as houses, property or businesses, or children. In these cases, a well-drafted Cohabitation Agreement is an essential document to ensure that your rights are protected in the event that the relationship ends. Without the rights afforded to you by marriage, the Cohabitation Agreement can be of the utmost importance in protecting your rights, children or assets.

The highly experienced family law counsel at The Law Office of Anthony N. Elia, P.C., can help you draft a Cohabitation Agreement that protects the assets you may have had before the relationship began, as well as what you may have amassed during the relationship; the rights of you and your children; and eases the painful decisions that take place in the event of a split that can be as painful and as complex as a divorce.
