Document background
The Non-Marital Cohabitation Agreement has become increasingly important in the United States as more couples choose to live together without marriage. This document serves to protect both parties' interests by clearly defining property rights, financial responsibilities, and mutual obligations. It's particularly crucial in states where common law marriage isn't recognized, helping partners avoid costly legal disputes if the relationship ends. The agreement typically covers property division, shared expenses, asset ownership, and can include provisions for estate planning and healthcare decisions.
