FAQ
Why do unmarried couples in the US need a cohabitation agreement?
Unlike married couples, unmarried partners do not have standard statutory protections under family law. A written contract creates legally binding property and debt terms
Can this contract protect equity in a home owned by only one partner?
Yes. The agreement can stipulate that one partner retains 100% sole ownership while defining how monthly contribution costs are handled
Does this document address pet ownership?
Yes. You can specify sole or shared ownership, caretaking responsibilities, and custody arrangements in the event of separation
