Cohabitation Matters
- It has become more and more common in recent years for cohabitation to happen before, and outside of, civil partnerships and marriage
- It is extremely important, however, that you consider the legal aspects of this arrangement, as you are not protected by marriage or civil partnership laws, no matter how long you have been cohabiting
- Sterling Law can help you create cohabitation agreements that protect you and your partner’s property and rights, and help you navigate trust and land law, which ultimately decides how property is divided otherwise
- Cohabitation agreements extend past property law – custody and other aspects of family law can also be affected. If you are in a dependent relationship and cohabiting, but not married, it is highly suggested that you make sure your child’s financial needs will be met in the case of cohabitation ending

Getting divorced has both an emotional and financial toll. Without a good lawyer behind you, you may end up getting the short end of the stick, and relitigation is never something you want to go through. That’s why Sterling Law is here to help.
