What is a Cohabitation Agreement?

A Cohabitation Agreement is one of the most commonly used documents in family. It sets out the terms clearly between the parties involved, reducing the risk of misunderstandings later. Depot Laws's version is drafted by attorneys and adapted to your jurisdiction as you answer the questionnaire.

When do you need one?

Use a Cohabitation Agreement whenever you want a written record of the arrangement — for your own protection, for the other party's clarity, and to have something enforceable if a dispute arises.
