How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Cohabitation Agreement in Texas

In 2024, a personal client in Texas posted a project seeking assistance with drafting a cohabitation agreement. The client, consisting of two working professionals who had both been divorced previously, aimed to protect their individual physical and financial assets and avoid any claims related to common law marriage. The agreement needed to address specific provisions, such as the equal division of utility and grocery bills, waiving of spousal support, and the establishment of property rights, ensuring clarity in their financial arrangements moving forward. As a result, the client received five proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $495 to $1,495, all submitted to meet the requested deadline of less than one week.
