Cohabitation Agreement Solicitors

Our Cohabitation Agreement Solicitors understand that for some couples, marriage is not the answer, and instead they simply wish to live together.

Our offices across Guisborough, Middlesbrough, Hartlepool and Stokesley have experienced Cohabitation Agreement Solicitors. A cohabitation agreement deals with issues such as ownership of property, finances and children if a couple were to break up.

How we can help

Our Cohabitation Agreement Solicitors support unmarried couples across Teesside who wish to protect themselves before moving in together.

Unmarried couples who choose to live together can benefit from a legal agreement that addresses property ownership, finances and provisions for children. For unmarried couples with children, the position is no different to those who are married when it comes to matters of custody, and we refer you to our child arrangements page for more information.

Unlike married couples, unmarried couples do not automatically have the same legal and financial protections, which is why disputes often centre on the family home. The courts have the authority to determine property interests, or to order a sale, where no clear agreement is in place. Our Cohabitation Agreement Solicitors can help you avoid this uncertainty altogether.

We offer a full drafting service for cohabitation agreements, covering property ownership, financial arrangements including joint accounts, and provisions relating to children, giving you clarity and protection from the outset. Our Cohabitation Agreement Solicitors will guide you through every step of putting an agreement in place.
