Experienced Frisco Cohabitation Lawyer with Attitude!

In Texas, the law treats cohabitation much differently than marriage. Texas also recognizes common-law marriage for couples who intend to get married and live together. The problem a couple can face is in determining whether they ever intended to get married, which can have a profound impact on each party’s rights and interests.

While one or both of the cohabitants may want the same rights and benefits of a marriage, including the same interests in property, they may not be receiving those interests and benefits. A cohabitation agreement can help you establish the interests of each party in any property, including assets and debts acquired before and after the cohabitation agreement. A cohabitation agreement, if properly executed, should contain language acknowledging that the parties never intend a common-law marriage, and the cohabitation agreement should govern unless they actually marry.

A cohabitation agreement is similar to a premarital agreement and can also include language to allow the terms to continue after a marriage, similar to a prenuptial agreement. If you are cohabitating or considering cohabitation, you should speak with an experienced attorney about your rights and interests and how you may benefit from a cohabitation agreement.
