Cohabitation

Living together without being married or in a civil partnership. Can apply to opposite sex or same sex. The law gives more restricted rights on separation or death than for marrieds. Accordingly we recommend all cohabiting couples to enter into a “cohabitation agreement” to record their intentions for the future. This is often binding on a court.
