Document background
A Cohabitation Contract is essential for unmarried couples in Singapore who plan to live together and wish to establish clear legal arrangements for their relationship. Given that Singapore law doesn't recognize de facto relationships, this agreement becomes particularly important in protecting both parties' interests. The contract typically covers property ownership, financial responsibilities, living arrangements, and potential separation scenarios. It provides legal clarity in a jurisdiction where unmarried couples lack the statutory protections available to married couples under the Women's Charter.
