Barron Family Law, we provide clear, practical legal guidance to help you create an agreement that supports your future and offers peace of mind.

Cohabitation Agreements

Understanding Cohabitation Agreement in Ontario

A cohabitation agreement is a legally binding contract between unmarried partners who live together or plan to live together. It allows couples to decide in advance how certain matters will be handled, including:

  • Ownership and division of property
  • Responsibility for debts
  • Spousal support obligations
  • Financial arrangements during the relationship or upon separation

While a cohabitation agreement cannot determine child custody or child support, it provides clarity and certainty around financial issues.
