Document background
The Cohabitation Agreement After Divorce is a specialized legal document used in the Netherlands when previously divorced individuals decide to live together without marrying. This agreement becomes particularly important as it addresses the complex intersection of existing post-divorce obligations and new cohabitation arrangements. It typically includes provisions for property separation, financial responsibilities, and living arrangements while protecting both parties' interests given their previous marital experiences. The document is governed by Dutch civil law and requires careful consideration of ongoing obligations from previous marriages, such as alimony or child support payments. It serves as a crucial tool for establishing clear legal and financial boundaries while providing a framework for the new living arrangement.
