More unmarried couples include pet custody in cohabitation agreements amid rising legal trends.

Nearly half of unmarried couples with pets consider including their animals in cohabitation agreements if they split up, though only 26% actually have such agreements. Co-op Legal Services reports a 200% rise in these agreements over five years. Surveys show 34% of cohabiting adults have no plans to marry in the next decade. The average asset value for cohabiting couples is £394,000, increasing to £520,545 for those over 55.
