Relationship Contracts for Unmarried Couples have become increasingly important in Ireland as more couples choose to cohabit without marriage. These agreements provide legal clarity and protection under Irish law, particularly following the introduction of the Civil Partnership and Certain Rights and Obligations of Cohabitants Act 2010. The document is essential for couples who wish to clearly define their rights and responsibilities regarding property ownership, financial arrangements, and personal assets during their relationship and in case of separation. It can help prevent future disputes and provide certainty about each partner's entitlements and obligations. The agreement is particularly relevant given that unmarried couples in Ireland don't have the same automatic legal rights as married couples, making it crucial to establish these rights through a formal agreement.
