Contracts & Agreements

Planning for the future is essential, and protecting your rights in a relationship is a smart step toward peace of mind.

Byron J. Cavanaugh offers expert guidance in drafting and reviewing both marriage contracts and cohabitation agreements, ensuring clarity and fairness for all parties involved.

Cohabitation Agreements

For couples living together without being married, a cohabitation agreement defines how property and finances will be handled in the event of separation or death. This agreement can provide legal protection and security, ensuring that each partner’s interests are safeguarded.

Key Aspects of These Agreements Include:
  • Division of property and assets
  • Spousal support arrangements
  • Protection of family businesses or inheritance
  • Handling of debts and liabilities
  • Financial responsibilities during the relationship

Byron takes a personalized approach to each agreement, working closely with clients to draft contracts that reflect their unique circumstances and future goals. With his guidance, you can ensure your agreement is thorough, fair, and enforceable. Serving clients in Lanark County, Ottawa, Leeds & Grenville, Renfrew County, and Frontenac County, Byron is dedicated to helping couples create agreements that foster clarity and prevent future disputes.

Marriage Contracts

Marriage contracts, often referred to as prenuptial or postnuptial agreements, outline the rights and responsibilities of each spouse regarding property division, spousal support, and more. Whether you are preparing for marriage or have already tied the knot, a well-structured agreement can help protect your assets and set clear expectations for the future.
