Document background
The Cohabitation Agreement After Divorce is essential for previously divorced individuals in India who plan to live together without marriage. This document has become increasingly relevant as Indian society evolves and courts recognize live-in relationships. It provides legal clarity and protection in areas including property rights, financial responsibilities, and personal obligations, while respecting existing divorce settlements. The agreement is particularly important in the Indian legal context where live-in relationships, while legally recognized through various Supreme Court judgments, lack comprehensive statutory regulation. It helps prevent future disputes by clearly documenting the parties' intentions and arrangements regarding shared living, financial matters, and property ownership. The document should be drafted with consideration of both parties' previous divorce terms and current circumstances, ensuring compliance with Indian contract law and relevant Supreme Court guidelines.
