A living together agreement and a premarital agreement

LIVING TOGETHER AGREEMENT- Couples who want to live together but have no intention of getting married benefit from signing a living together agreement. It creats a famework (пределы) for non-married couples to handle money and property issues while they live together and if they should separate. On the other hand about to be married, you can make an agreement concerning certain aspects of their relations after they marry. This agreement must cover their responsibilities and property rights during marriage – for example, how the mortgage will be paid and who will stay home to take care of the kids. But more likely, it will determine how property will be divided and whether alimony will be paid in the event the couple later divorces. These agreements are also called antenuptial or prenuptial agreements.

PREMARITAL AGREEMENT – some couples choose to make a premarital agreement as a way of clarifying intentions (намерения) and expectations (предположения), as well as their rights should they later split up.

On the other hand some people make premarital agreement to circumvent what a court must decide in the event of divorce. Often it happens when one of the partners wishes to keep property if the marriage ends. Most premarital agreements are made by individuals who have children or grandchildren from prior marriages. In this case, a partner may use a premarital agreement to ensure that the bulk(основная масса) of his or her property passes to the children or grand children, rather then a current spouse (Действующему).

There is the Uniform –Pre- Marital Agreement Act – legal guideline for people who wants to make agreements prior to marriage. States that haven’t adopted the act have another laws, which often differ from the act in only minor ways. One important differ is that a few states, including California, do not allow premarital agreements to modify or eliminate the right pf a spouce to receive court-ordered alimony.
