}}A family law agreement — | }}A family law agreement — like a cohabitation agreement, a marriage agreement or a separation agreement — is a contract, just like the contract you might have with an employer or a landlord: each party promises to do something in exchange for something the other party promises to do, and both parties expect that they'll be held responsible for fulfilling their promises. In family law, contracts like these are used to settle the issues that come up when a relationship ends, although cohabitation agreements and marriage agreements are sometimes used to settle how a relationship will be managed. | ||
This chapter begins with an overview of family law agreements, and discusses the role they play during relationships and when relationships end. It also reviews the typical elements of a family agreement and discuss some of the things you might wish to keep in mind when negotiating and drafting an agreement yourself. | This chapter begins with an overview of family law agreements, and discusses the role they play during relationships and when relationships end.
