Cohabitation Agreement Lawyers Cardiff

Under a cohabitation agreement, couples living together in England and Wales can outline their financial and living arrangements, ensuring clarity and protection for both parties. This proactive step helps address potential disputes by setting expectations and agreements on issues such as property division, finances, and asset management should the relationship end. Cohabitation agreements are particularly useful for unmarried couples, providing a layer of legal protection not automatically granted under the law.

What is a Cohabitation Agreement?

Our Cardiff-based team at Wendy Hopkins Family Law Practice is skilled at crafting detailed cohabitation agreements tailored to your unique circumstances. We understand that every relationship is different, and our goal is to help you create a comprehensive agreement that reflects your mutual understanding and future plans.

Cohabitation agreements can cover:

  • Property ownership and division
  • Financial agreements
  • Child arrangements

Agreements on the above are most often made verbally, which are not always honoured in the event of a contentious separation. Entering into a cohabitation agreement can significantly reduce the emotional and financial stress associated with relationship breakdowns. It serves as a clear guideline for both partners, outlining their rights and obligations and helping to prevent misunderstandings and conflicts. Our experienced solicitors in Cardiff will guide you through the process with sensitivity and professionalism, ensuring all necessary aspects are covered.

Our approach is client-focussed, and we take the time to understand your needs and concerns. We provide clear, practical advice, making sure you fully understand the implications of the agreement.
