Document background
A Prenup For Unmarried Couples (cohabitation agreement) is essential for partners who live together without being married but want to establish clear legal and financial boundaries. This document becomes particularly important in the United States where unmarried couples often lack the legal protections automatically granted to married couples. It typically covers property division, financial responsibilities, living arrangements, and separation terms. The agreement helps prevent future disputes and provides clarity regarding each partner's rights and obligations. While requirements vary by state, these agreements are generally enforceable under contract law principles when properly executed.
