  • Co-Habitation Agreements

    Does anyone know of any resources (online sites/links, offline books etc.) for good samples of co-habitation agreements? Or does anyone here have one of their own that they wouldn't mind sharing (in terms of structure and layout, not content or actual personal details)?

    I think we had some posted here a while back. I'll see what I can find for you.

              My partner and I just had one drafted up by his lawyer that we got back a couple weeks ago. I typed up the clauses we wanted and sent it to his lawyer, who put it in legalese. We have 27 sections to ours, which are outlined as follows:

              It starts with the date and stating that this is a cohabitation agreement made on this ____ day of ____ 2012 between __________ and ___________.

              Below that is a section of definitions used in the agreement (legal terms).

              Then, the sections:
              1. BACKGROUND
              2. DOMESTIC CONTRACT
              3. WILLS
              4. REGIME OF SEPARATE PROPERTY
              5. RULES OF OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY
              6. HOUSEHOLD CONTENTS AND OTHER PERSONAL CHATTELS
              7. NO OWNERSHIP UNLESS LEGAL OWNERSHIP
              8. PROPERTY NOT TO BE NET FAMILY PROPERTY
              9. RIGHT TO DEAL
              10. TRANSFER OR BEQUEST OF PROPERTY TO OTHER PARTY
              11. GIFTS TO OTHER PARTY
              12. OCCUPATION OF COMMON RESIDENCE
              13. SUPPORT
              14. DEBTS AND OBLIGATIONS
              15. ON MARRIAGE TO EACH OTHER
              16. PART II OF THE FAMILY LAW ACT
              17. RELEASES AGAINST PROPERTY
              18. RELEASE AGAINST THE ESTATE OF THE OTHER
              19. GENERAL RELEASE
              20. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
              21. INDEPENDENT LEGAL ADVICE
              22. AGREEMENT TO SURVIVE SEPARATION
              23. EXECUTION OF OTHER DOCUMENTS
              24. AMENDMENT OF CONTRACT
              25. PROPER LAW
              26. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS
              27. LEGAL FEES

              At the end is a page for us to sign before a witness.

              Are you looking for wording, or what kinds of things to put in there? I can elaborate on some of ours if you'd like. Let me know and I'll PM you.
