Cohabitation Separation Agreement (Family Law)

Mon, 17 Jun 2002 22:13:00 GMT

What is the name of your state? CT
Currently I live in a rental with my boyfriend, my daughter and his son. We've been together for over 2-years and he is now purchasing a house. Because my name is not on the house my parents have strongly advised me to do up some kind of separation agreement. Their's and my concern is, if things don't work out for us that I will have ample time to relocate to another apartment of the type to which I've become acustom. Also, they think it would be wise to have some type of monetary agreement so I would have the necessary deposit(s) along with necessary furniture and/or appliances (i.e. washer and dryer [I gave mine up when we moved in together because his was much newer], stove and refrigerator - if not supplied by landlord; I gave up my couch when we moved in together because he has a nicer set). It's not that my parent's don't like my boyfriend but they want to be sure my daughter and I are protected. My mother was cohabitating with her now deceased boyfriend in a home he bought. When he passed her whole life was uprooted because she had no agreement. She and my father don't want to see that happen to me - whether through death or separation. Does anyone out there know of any such form/agreement or how I would go about creating one without having to pay a lot of money for it? Also, if we are able to agree on the terms would it be legal and binding with our signatures and that of a notary?
