Getting married or moving in with your loved one is an exciting time. Many people ask when a marriage contract (otherwise referred to as a “pre-nup”) or cohabitation agreement is required. Cori is happy to have a frank and honest discussion about this. Cori does not want you to spend your money unnecessarily.
A marriage contract or cohabitation agreement is necessary if:
