It’s very common for couples these days to live together before they tie the knot or perhaps they are not interested in such things as wedding ceremonies or signing papers. But every relationship whether on paper or not can face a few storms that may determine the course of their relationship. Sometimes life leaves unwanted things on the shore and we must be brave enough to face them.
If you have been living with your significant other for a long time and accumulated some property, a property agreement may be your best option. Without these agreements, you may face a long legal battle in court if you decide to end your relationship. Contact a Salt Lake City division of property attorney to protect your property rights.
This agreement includes you and your partner and should meet your financial needs. The agreement generally includes:
It’s easy to have an emotional attachment to your home. It’s the place where you create memories and find shelter. It’s important you include your home in your cohabitation agreement. Some things you should include in your contract:
This term refers to financial support when couples that never married end their relationship. Although is not a legal term, it’s used quite often. Unmarried couples don’t have rights to palimony or spousal support. This is why a written agreement comes in handy. You can only sue your ex partner only if there was a written contract that states details about your finances.
Last but not least, make sure you include details about your income and what will happen if you decide to live separate lives. If one partner makes more money than the other, explain in the agreement what each partner gets to keep in case of a breakup.
Debt is a similar story. There is no marital debts therefore each person is responsible for their own debts. Registered domestic partner may be responsible for some debts related to essential needs such as shelter, food, and raiment.
