Cohabitation Agreements
As with any important relationship, whether it be personal or business, it is imperative that the terms of the relationship be detailed in advance. As a former corporate attorney, it would be unheard of for my client to enter into any sort of partnership without first clearly defining the terms of the relationship. Cohabitating partners are no different.
A carefully crafted cohabitation agreement allows cohabitating parties to clearly define expectations and prevent uncertainty in the future. In the event the cohabitation between parties ends, without a cohabitation agreement, the ending of the relationship can pose issues and conflicts just as complex as a marriage. Unfortunately, married parties have more automatic protections afforded to them under the law than cohabitating parties. Through this contract, for minimal cost, both parties can protect themselves in the end maintain their own assets and protect themselves from their partner’s debts. |
I contact Jim for a consult less than two weeks before my divorce trial date. I was desperate to find a good attorney to take my case, and he had great ratings on Avvo. I can honestly say that it was one of the best decisions I've ver made for my family. Jim is a fantastic attorney who knows his practice well and has a passion for his job. He took my case with very little time to prepare because he knew that I needed him and he could see that I was being taken advantage of by the other parties and knew he could help me. For that, I am forever grateful. He always made me feel like I was his only client, even though I know he had many others at the same time. His assistant, Rachael, is amazing as well. She has the best personality an knows exactly how to talk to people. She is incredibly intelligent and on top of things. She is an extreme pleasure to deal with. I can not say enough wonderful things about my experience with Jim, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney.
