Cohabitation
What Is Cohabitation?
Cohabitation is the term for two adults who are living together as a couple but who are not legally married.
When two people are married, the law defines what each partner owes the other in the event of a divorce. For example, one partner may be required to pay alimony or child support to the other partner.
On the other hand, unless there is a signed cohabitation agreement between two parties, there are no rules and regulations regarding what happens to shared property or income if the relationship ends.
