Document background
The Living Together Separation Agreement serves as a crucial legal tool for unmarried couples in the United States who are ending their cohabitation arrangement. This document becomes necessary when domestic partners who have shared living arrangements, finances, or property decide to separate. It provides a comprehensive framework for dividing assets, addressing financial obligations, and establishing clear boundaries post-separation. While not all states recognize common law marriage, this agreement is generally enforceable under contract law principles across U.S. jurisdictions. It's particularly important for couples who have accumulated shared assets or have complex financial entanglements during their relationship.
