Cohabitation
Cohabitation has become extremely common in today’s society. There are no specific domestic relations laws in Alabama governing the rights of unmarried couples, who choose to live together. Most of the legal issues that arise from cohabitation are resolved through contract law. property law, and/or landlord-tenant laws. Cohabitation agreements can determine financial arrangements, clarify property ownership, and list each party’s rights and responsibilities should the cohabitation come to an end.
