Document background
Cohabiting Agreements have become increasingly important in Ireland as more couples choose to live together without getting married. These agreements are particularly relevant under Irish law, which provides specific rights to qualified cohabitants under the Civil Partnership and Certain Rights and Obligations of Cohabitants Act 2010. The document is essential for couples who wish to clearly define their financial and property rights, establish living arrangements, and protect their interests both during cohabitation and in case of separation. It includes provisions for property ownership, financial contributions, debt management, and dispute resolution. While not mandatory, a Cohabiting Agreement is strongly recommended for unmarried couples living together, especially those with significant assets or shared property interests.
