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

In 2025, an individual in Texas sought assistance with drafting a cohabitation agreement as they had been living with their partner for eight months. The client aimed to outline the management of their respective assets and liabilities clearly, as they held significantly different net worths and had no joint financial accounts. Key provisions included asset delineation, a liability clause, and terms to prevent the establishment of a common-law marriage, which reflected their mutual understanding of their independent financial situations and future intentions. As a result, the client received seven proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $445 to $999, all submitted to meet the requested deadline of less than a week.
