Choosing To Co-Habit In Malta

When a couple chooses to reside together continually and habitually in a common home, they may opt to regulate their position, in accordance with the provisions laid out in Chapter 614 of the laws of Malta, the Cohabitation Act. This law allows for persons who intend to cohabit, or who are already cohabitating, to regulate their Cohabitation by means of a Cohabitation agreement.

ESTABLISHING COHABITATION

Cohabitation can only be contracted by parties who have reached eighteen years of age, and who are not biologically related. Persons who are interdicted or incapacitated, or incapable of using reason, as well as people who are married or in a civil union with third parties or have already entered a deed of Cohabitation with third parties cannot enter into a Cohabitation agreement.
