Document background
A Pre Cohabitation Agreement serves as a crucial legal framework for unmarried couples in the United States who plan to share a residence. This document becomes particularly important as more couples choose cohabitation before or instead of marriage. It outlines property rights, financial responsibilities, and dispute resolution procedures, protecting both parties' interests should the relationship end. The agreement helps prevent future conflicts by clearly establishing expectations and obligations upfront, though its enforceability varies by state jurisdiction. Unlike marriage contracts, Pre Cohabitation Agreements focus specifically on practical aspects of shared living while maintaining separate legal status between partners.
