Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Cohabitation Agreement?A cohabitation agreement is a written agreement between parties who have chosen to live together, without being married.

Our Cohabitation Agreement provides both monetary and emotional security. This Cohabitation Agreement sorts out current and future financial and property issues prior to cohabitation. In general, it sets out who the parties are, what their current assets and liabilities are, and how all current and prospective property will be dealt with in the event of relationship breakdown.

This Agreement also deals with issues such as spousal support, inheritance from one spouse in case of death, and acknowledgment of dependent children.What if the couple does not live in the same province?If both Parties reside in different provinces, then usually you should choose the province of the spouse where both Parties will reside after cohabitation (e.g. If one Party resides in California and the other Party resides in Arizona and both will cohabite in California, then select California).

However, if both Parties reside in provinces other than the one that Parties will reside after cohabitation, then you may select either province that you reside at currently (e.g. If one Party resides in California and the other Party resides in Arizona and both will cohabite in Florida, then select either Arizona or California).
