Cohabitation Agreements
Unmarried couples do not have the same legal rights as married couples—even if they’ve lived together for years or share children. A Cohabitation Agreement is a legally recognised contract that helps define financial arrangements, property ownership, and responsibilities during the relationship and in the event of a breakup.
Whether you’re buying a home together, raising a family, or simply sharing day-to-day expenses, a cohabitation agreement offers practical protection and peace of mind. It prevents misunderstandings and allows both partners to make informed decisions about their finances. At AAGA Solicitors, we help couples build clear, balanced agreements that reflect fairness, respect, and shared goals.
