→Avoid do-it-yourself cohabitation agreement kits
===Avoid do-it-yourself cohabitation agreement kits===
Staples, Chapters, London Drugs , and other stores generally carry a wide range of DIY legal products, from doing your own will to getting your own divorce.
In my view , most of these do-it-yourself kits are fine for most people most of the time. However, cohabitation agreements can be complicated and must be drafted with a good knowledge of family law, cohabitation agreements in particular, and the general law applicable in British Columbia. Using a do-it-yourself cohabitation agreement kit is really not a good strategy.
If you figure think that you absolutely must have a cohabitation agreement, it's well worth spending $1,500 to $4,000 to have a lawyer draw it up correctly for you, rather than spending $15,000 to $40,000 on lawyer's fees down the road if the agreement is flawed.
