As more and more couples are choosing to combine both their property and financial means and resources outside of marriage, it seems only natural that there has been a rise in the demand for Cohabitation Agreements. Cohabitation Agreements, like Marriage Contracts, are often used in parties’ second relationships, following a bitter divorce or custody and access battle between a party and the previous partner. Often times when a party has gone through an unpleasant separation, expending time and money on legal fees, professional consultation, alternative dispute resolution and/or the court process, they typically want to avoid this happening in the future at all costs.
