Document background
A Cohabitation Separation Agreement is essential when unmarried partners who have been living together in Singapore decide to end their relationship. This document serves as a formal record of how they agree to separate their lives, including the division of jointly owned property, financial assets, and personal belongings. While Singapore law does not provide specific statutory protections for cohabiting couples (unlike married couples under the Women's Charter), this agreement creates legally binding obligations under contract law. It is particularly important when the parties have acquired assets together or share financial responsibilities, helping prevent future disputes and providing clarity on separation terms.
