I guess, to me, if you're willing to live with them, you should be at least invested enough in the relationship to trust the other person with finaces, with or without legal protection...but I guess that's being too optimistic.

Does anyone know if there's such a thing as a legal contract between persons living together should a breakup occur? Something like a pre-nup, only for living together/joint finances instead of marriage?

I know my sister had a domestic partnership agreement that was put together by an attorney and when the relationship tanked, they ended up in arbitration and the agreement was enforced. Granted this was in California, so I don't know how it would work other places.
