About this document
Cohabitation (living together) agreement is suitable for any two people living together or planning to do so. Discussions about the need for formal legally binding cohabitation agreements are always sensitive. Net Lawman provides alternative versions of cohabitation agreement forms, cohabitation (living together) agreement – full version and a cohabitation (living together) agreement -simple version which may be more suitable for those who find it difficult to discuss subjects such as division of assets and maintenance payments. The Net Lawman cohabitation agreements provide the framework for you to make a sensible, realistic, fair and binding agreement.
We advise that a cohabitation contract could be the best thing unmarried partners use to protect their rights and share responsibilities.
The law provides no special protection to a person leaving a relationship which is not marriage. If your relationship breaks up how likely is it that you will both continue to be kind, reasonable and sensible and that all the terms of the split will be agreed by both of you? Committing to a relationship and living together affects not only your lives but your money, possessions, children, and other important aspects of your future.
Imagine having to walk away with nothing.
It does not have to be that way! Only Net Lawman offers you a living together unmarried cohabitation agreement which covers almost everything (as well as a cohabitation (living together) simple version designed for a shorter term)

Easy to use, even if you have no legal knowledge
