If you and your partner are living together and sharing responsibilities related to running the household but don’t plan on getting married, you can draw up a cohabitation agreement that formalises your relationship in terms of your responsibilities, finances and assets, and demonstrates your commitment to each other and respect for each other’s rights and welfare. Importantly, if your partner does not abide by the agreement, you can ask the courts to enforce it.
