Prenuptial & Cohabitation Agreements

We prepare customized prenuptial and cohabitation agreements that reflect your relationship goals and provide legal clarity. These agreements offer strong protection for couples planning marriage or living together, and can address property, debt, support, and other important matters.

Our Agreement Services Include

• Prenuptial agreements — Before marriage, a prenuptial agreement allows you to define how property, debts, and support will be handled in the event of separation. This is especially important when one or both partners have significant assets, business interests, or children from previous relationships.
• Cohabitation agreements — For couples entering a common-law relationship, a cohabitation agreement provides similar protections — clarifying property rights and financial expectations during and after the relationship.
• Independent legal advice — For an agreement to be enforceable, both parties should receive independent legal advice. We provide thorough, independent reviews to ensure our clients fully understand the terms before signing.
• Reviewing and challenging existing agreements — If you have concerns about an agreement you previously signed, we can assess its enforceability and advise on your options.
