[WSBAPT] Cohabitation Agreement - Level of Detail on Financials?

[Glenn Price]

Tom, If enforceability is your presumed goal, I believe it would be imprudent at best and disastrous at worst to fail to provide full disclosure in a co-habitation agreement.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Cohabitation Agreement - Level of Detail on Financials?

Hey Colleagues-

When you prepare cohabitation agreements, I'm curious how much detail you provide regarding financial situations of each party. I represent the wealthier person in the relationship, and that person would rather not disclose all income and assets. How do you think this will impact the effectiveness of the cohabitation agreement?

My thought is that you aren't required to provide the same level of details as you do in a pre-nup or post-nup, but haven't found authority on point.

Thanks in advance for insight.
