Cohabitation (Marvin) Agreements

A high profile case, Marvin v. Marvin, has resulted in palimony case law that addresses issues of financial burden and promised financial support. However, having a cohabitation agreement is safer for both parties if they choose to remain unmarried.

At The Law Offices of Blacker, Sammis & Blacker, our attorneys develop cohabitation agreements that consider factors such as:

  • Whether assets will be shared in the event of a breakup
  • Whether relocation money will be provided to the partner leaving the home
  • The protections, if any, that each partner requires
  • Whether partner support (palimony) will be paid
