Cohabitation Agreements
Cohabitation Agreement Solicitors in Cheltenham
Living together without being married doesn’t give you the same legal rights as a married couple. At Pembridge Solicitors, we help couples across Cheltenham and Gloucestershire put clear agreements in place to protect their finances, property, and future — before or during cohabitation.
A cohabitation agreement sets out who owns what, how bills and assets are shared, and what should happen if the relationship ends. It offers clarity and peace of mind for both partners.
From the moment you reach out, our family law team is here to guide you with practical solutions and straightforward legal support.
What Is a Cohabitation Agreement?
A cohabitation agreement is a legally recognised contract between two people who live together. It can cover:
- Ownership of property and contributions to the mortgage
- Ownership of cars, furniture, and personal items
- What happens if one partner moves out or the property is sold
Why Consider a Cohabitation Agreement?
Many couples assume living together gives them similar rights to married couples — but this is not the case. Without a legal agreement, you may have no automatic claim to property, savings, or pensions, even after years together.
- One partner owns the home
- There are children from a previous relationship
- You’re making unequal financial contributions
- One person is financially dependent on the othe
