Document background
Prenuptial Agreements For Unmarried Couples have become increasingly important as more couples choose to cohabitate without marriage in the United States. This document serves to protect both parties' interests by clearly defining property rights, financial responsibilities, and other obligations during cohabitation and in case of separation. It addresses gaps in legal protection that exist for unmarried couples under various state laws, as unmarried partners often lack the automatic legal protections afforded to married couples. The agreement typically covers asset division, shared expenses, property ownership, and can include provisions for estate planning, healthcare decisions, and support obligations.
