Document background
A Cohabitation Agreement For Married Couples is designed for married couples who wish to clearly document their financial arrangements and living conditions during their marriage. This agreement is particularly relevant in England and Wales, where courts may consider such arrangements when making financial orders in divorce proceedings. The document typically includes provisions for property ownership, financial contributions, household expenses, and asset management. While not as commonly used as prenuptial or postnuptial agreements, it provides clarity and certainty for couples who wish to maintain clear financial boundaries while married. The agreement must comply with legal requirements including full financial disclosure and independent legal advice for both parties.
