A family law agreement — usually a cohabitiation agreement, a marriage agreement or a separation agreement — is a contract, just like the contract someone 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 expect parties that they'll be held responsible for fulfilling their promises. In family law, contracts like these are used to settle the issues that arise when a relationship ends, although they can also be used to settle how a relationship will be managed.
