A cohabitation agreement is a legal document that helps couples who are living together define their rights and responsibilities. It works for both married couples and those in common-law relationships. You might also hear it called a Marriage Agreement or Pre-nuptial Agreement.
Every couple is unique, with different circumstances, priorities, and visions for the future.

A cohabitation agreement is a proactive step that safeguards your rights, interests, and assets in the event of a separation or other unforeseen circumstances. Our aim is to empower you with the knowledge and tools necessary to protect what matters most to you. We will work closely with you to identify and address any potential concerns, providing comprehensive legal advice tailored to your unique situation.
In British Columbia, the Family Law Act governs cohabitation agreements. It's important to know that the rights and obligations of common law couples might be different from those who are married, especially when it comes to dividing property.
To make sure the agreement is valid and enforceable, it's crucial to have a family lawyer help with the drafting. Each partner should also get independent legal advice before signing it. This way, both people understand their rights and obligations and know the agreement is fair.

We combine our legal expertise with a personal touch to ensure that you receive the support and guidance you deserve.
