FAQ
Couples who live together and are not married fall under the category of cohabitation. The legal rights of cohabiting couples are very different than those of married couples. The following brief overview can help you understand the differences between the legal rights of those who are married and those who are not.
To prove cohabitation, you will need to show that your ex is residing with another person, sharing household expenses and that they are holding themselves out as a couple. While the proof of sexual activity can be difficult to prove, it will generally be presumed when the other factors are proven.
California Family Code Section 6751 provides that a contract may not be disaffirmed on the ground of minority if it was approved by the superior court of the proper county, after reasonable notice and an opportunity to be heard.
(a) An order may be issued under this part to restrain any person for the purpose specified in Section 6220, if an affidavit or testimony and any additional information provided to the court pursuant to Section 6306, shows, to the satisfaction of the court, reasonable proof of a past act or acts of abuse.
Under Family Code §4323, a presumption of reduced need for spousal support arises when the supported spouse is “cohabiting” with a nonmarital partner.
Cohabitation agreements and “live together” contracts are valid in the state of California, and couples should take great care when making them.
California does not have any specific cohabitation laws. There are no specific regulations in place for dividing the property of a cohabiting couple after a separation. The courts will not intervene to divide the property down the middle as they would for a married couple in a divorce case.
There is not a specific period that you must live together before you can establish a domestic partnership in California. Any couple who meets the eligibility criteria may register a domestic partnership to receive many of the same rights as married couples.
An Affidavit of Cohabitation is a sworn statement attesting to the fact that two individuals have lived together as husband and wife for a specified period. It is a legal document typically executed under oath before a notary public.
