Cohabitation

agreement

Cohabitation agreements (also known as nonmarital agreements) are similar to prenuptial agreements for couples who are planning to marry—but cohabitation agreements are for people who are living together and having a sexual relationship without being married. These agreements address issues that may arise during the relationship (payment of rent and other expenses, household chores)—and issues that may arise if the cohabitation relationship ends (ownership and division of home or other property, support).

In Georgia, cohabitation agreements, also known as nonmarital agreements, are recognized and enforceable. These agreements are designed for couples who live together without being married and want to outline the financial and property arrangements during and after their cohabitation. The agreements can cover various aspects such as payment of expenses, division of property, and support obligations. While Georgia does not have a specific statute governing cohabitation agreements, these contracts are generally upheld if they meet the basic requirements of contract law, such as mutual consent, consideration, capacity, and legality. It is advisable for individuals entering into a cohabitation agreement to have their agreement drafted by an attorney to ensure that it is legally sound and reflects their intentions.
