Some agreements do not deal with these issues, and some paint only a vague picture of the parties' respective financial responsibilities. Other agreements are mind-bogglingly detailed and cover even the tiniest details.

You wouldn't want every aspect of your relationship governed by a legal contract | Some agreements do not deal with these issues, and some paint only a vague picture of the parties' respective financial responsibilities.
