Document background
The Non Cohabitation Agreement serves as a crucial legal instrument in Hong Kong for individuals who wish to formally document their intention to maintain separate living arrangements. This document becomes particularly relevant in situations where parties need to clearly establish their living arrangements for legal, financial, or personal reasons. Given Hong Kong's unique legal framework, which differs from Western jurisdictions in its treatment of cohabitation, this agreement helps fill potential legal gaps by providing clear evidence of the parties' intentions and arrangements. The document typically includes provisions for separate residences, financial independence, communication protocols, and privacy arrangements, while also addressing any shared assets or ongoing obligations. It's particularly useful for parties who need to demonstrate their separate living status for various legal or administrative purposes.
