Couple-created cohabitation ag...You said it right.<br /><br />Couple-created cohabitation agreements or 'cohabs' are totally different and infinitely better than politician-manufactured government marriage contracts. They are based not on family law but on the law of contract - the law of making and keeping promises.<br /><br />Currently most cohabs focus primarily on property division in the event of relationship breakup. But couple-created cohabs can be as much if not more about what happens if the couple doesn't break up than what happens if they do. They can both express and provide a solid legal foundation to the couple’s vision of their shared life.<br /><br />A cohabitation agreement suits modern couples as it enables the couple, rather than the state, to make the important decisions affecting their relationship.<br /><br />With a cohabitation agreement the law is there to ensure couples keep the commitments they make to each other – and not to impose on the couple the government's ideas of what those commitments should be. In effect and in practical reality, if not in name, a cohab is a marriage the couple create for themselves.<br /><br />The Cohab Monkey at www.cohabmonkey.com has published online a completely free, open-source. and ready-to-share cohabitation agreement template in Google Docs.<br /><br />There is also a wiki version where all are welcome to contribute their ideas, comment of other's suggestions, and join in the discussion – all for the purpose of helping couples create commitments that are fair to each of them and great for both of them.<br /><br />Together let’s rebuild couple and family relationships outside the family law system.Cohab Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01544454899199302155noreply@blogger.com
