Marriage Contracts (often referred to as prenuptial agreements) and Cohabitation Agreements are domestic contracts which couples can use to define, expand, or limit their rights and obligations in Family Law which arise from their relationships. For instance, a Marriage Contract or Cohabitation agreement can address obligations such as spousal support and potential property claims so that the couple may manage their affairs according to their own wishes.
