Reviewing And Updating Agreements Over Time

A cohabitation agreement should reflect current circumstances. Outdated assumptions can weaken its effectiveness. As relationships and finances change, updates may be necessary.

Situations that often require revisions include:

• Changes in income or employment – promotions, career shifts, or job loss can alter financial contributions. These changes should be documented.
• New property purchases or sales – updated ownership terms help avoid disputes later. This includes real estate and valuable assets.
• Family changes – children or caregiving responsibilities may affect financial priorities. Agreements should reflect these shifts.
• Relocation or lifestyle changes – moving or changing living arrangements can impact financial needs.

Regular reviews help ensure the agreement continues to serve both partners effectively.
