Nova Scotia Cohabitation Agreement
In Nova Scotia common law couples can register as domestic partners, which gives you some of the same rights as a married couple. For best protection, you should have a Cohabitation Agreement in place.
- The Agreement allows you and your partner to specify which assets each of you owned prior to the relationship, and which are jointly owned by both of you.
- You can also set out how your joint assets will be distributed if you decide to end the relationship.
- You can also agree upon how household expenses will be split, and who is responsible for other debts. For instance, if your partner owes money on a student loan incurred before you met, he/she may be solely responsible for paying it off.
- If the two of you decide to get married, the Cohabitation Agreement becomes a prenuptial (pre-marriage) agreement.
- Before signing this Agreement, you and your partner must each get independent legal advice from a lawyer. The form includes a Certificate of Independent Legal Advice for each party.
- Available in MS Word format, fully customizable.
- For use only in the Province of Nova Scotia, Canada.

Saskatchewan Cohabitation Agreement
After 2 years of living together, common law couples in Saskatchewan have the same rights and obligations under the law as married couples. You can change that by signing a Cohabitation Agreement.
- A cohabitation agreement gives you a chance to establish who owns what property. For instance, each partner would continue to own the assets that they owned when they entered the relationship.
- Any property jointly acquired by the parties would be divided equally between them if the relationship ends, or would be sold and the sale proceeds split evenly.
- The Agreement contains a provision that each partner is responsible for his or her own debts and financial obligations.
- The partners will be jointly responsible for raising, supporting and caring for any children they have together.
- Before signing the Agreement, you and your partner must get independent legal advice from a lawyer. A Certificate of Independent Legal Advice for each party is included as part of the document, and must be signed by the lawyer.
- This legal form is available as a downloadable MS Word template.
- Intended for use only in the Province of Saskatchewan, Canada.
