Cohabitation describes the situation in which a couple live together unmarried, whether they raise a family or not. The Law that governs cohabitation is very different from the Laws that govern marriage and divorce.
People planning to cohabit often do so freely without considering the legal implications of doing so. When people have been cohabiting, the issue of separation is not the same as the divorce process.
Children and property connect couples just as much when they are married as when they are unmarried. The Lawyers at Sanders Witherspoon are available to discuss and advise clients upon difficulties that can be avoided and in dealing with cohabitation issues that they had not foreseen.
