Cohabitation Agreements
Barrie Cohabitation Agreement Lawyers
In Ontario two persons who are cohabiting or intend to cohabit and who are not married to each other may enter into an agreement in which they agree on their rights and obligations during cohabitation or on ceasing to cohabit or on death, including:
- Ownership in or division of property
- Support obligations
- The right to direct the education and moral training of their children
Cohabitation carries significant legal consequences and these consequences should be fully reviewed with your lawyer before cohabitation. Your lawyer can assist you in understanding the advantages of a cohabitation agreement and in negotiating a cohabitation agreement.
A cohabitation agreement is not enforceable unless it is written, signed by the parties and witnessed.
