Common Law Partner Agreement

"I need a Common Law Partner Agreement for a couple moving in together in March 2025, where one partner owns the property and runs a successful business, and they want clear terms about financial contributions and property rights."

Document background
The Common Law Partner Agreement serves as a crucial legal framework for cohabiting couples in Ireland who wish to formalize their living arrangements and mutual obligations without entering into marriage or civil partnership. This document becomes particularly relevant when partners begin cohabiting or plan to do so, especially when they share assets, property, or financial responsibilities. It aligns with Irish legislation, particularly the Civil Partnership and Certain Rights and Obligations of Cohabitants Act 2010, and can be customized to address specific circumstances such as shared property ownership, financial contributions, and arrangements regarding children. The agreement provides legal certainty and protection for both parties, helping prevent future disputes and establishing clear protocols for various aspects of the cohabiting relationship.
