Anyone had a cohabitation agreement? Like a pre nuptial?

[AnimalMother]

My fairly new girlfriend is moving in with me and as my mum put it, would I be happy if we split up in 5 years and I had to give her half my assets....who says romance is dead, cheers Mother.


So has anyone ever had a cohabitation agreement?


Is it like a pre nuptial agreement and is it a good idea to protect previously acquired assets?


Or am I better protected with no agreement.

""Basically the law does not recognise in any meaningful way a living-together relationship outside marriage or civil partnership," says Christina Blacklaws, director of family law at Cooperative Legal Services."

The above from the Guardian.....



EDIT: From this article it seams Mother dearests concerns are unfounded:

Some further details for you, my residence is actually rented!

Its my property empire (read highly leveraged slums) held in a limited company, savings and cash (which I'll need for coke & hookers urgently if it goes tits up) I more worried about.

What do mean Ozzie?

My odd arrangement of owning property but not the one I live in?
