Agreement for Live-in-Relationship

It is advisable to execute a proper Agreement before entering into Live-in-Relationship, as it provides clarity on rights related to properties & assets, financial responsibilities & division of expenses, and the intentions of both partners to be involved in such kind of relationship. It also reduces risk of filing of false cases against partner such as Rape.

The Live-in-Relationship has yet to be legally recognized like marriages, but the Courts have advised adequate communication and mutual understanding among the Partners. To prove the existence and period of the relationship it is essential to maintain documents that demonstrate shared household, like utility bills, agreements related to rent, or joint accounts.
