FAQ

A living arrangement in which an unmarried couple lives together in a long-term relationship that resembles a marriage. Couples cohabit, rather than marry, for a variety of reasons. They may want to test their compatibility before they commit to a legal union.

The most cited reason for people choosing to live together rather than marry seems to be financial reasons, e.g. putting the money towards a property as opposed to spending the money on getting married.

Unmarried couples who are living together have the option of creating a number of legal documents (often called cohabitation agreements) that can help protect their rights as a couple, while at the same time safeguarding their individual interests and assets.

Although there is no legal definition of living together, it generally means to live together as a couple without being married. Couples who live together are sometimes called common-law partners. This is just another way of saying a couple are living together.

But common law marriages are not recognized in Puerto Rico. The requisites of a valid marriage in Puerto Rico are set forth in Article 69 of the Civil Code, 31 L.P.R.A. § 231.

Unmarried couples who are living together have the option of creating a number of legal documents (often called cohabitation agreements) that can help protect their rights as a couple, while at the same time safeguarding their individual interests and assets.

It's important to have a cohabitation agreement because your lives become financially intertwined when you move in together. This is especially true if you are buying property, but it is also true even if you are renting an apartment with someone else.

Components of a Cohabitation AgreementThe date that the parties are entering into the agreement. The name of the parties and the state where they live. A statement that the parties are consensually entering into the agreement to live together. The date the parties began to live together.

In most states that recognize it, there are four common requirements to establish a common law marriage: You must live together, have the capacity to marry (you are not married to someone else), intend to be married and hold yourself out to friends and family as being a married couple.

Like most valid contracts, to be legally binding, a cohabitation agreement needs to include both party's names and addresses. It needs to be signed by each party and it is a good idea to also have the agreement notarized.
