##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Abstract
The article considers some issues related to regulation of property and other rights of the cohabitees, reasons of formation of cohabitees’s families, peculiarities of their rights regulation in comparison with married families. Of course, there are not many families of cohabitees in Lithuania. There are no statistical information about number of cohabitees in Lithuania, however, multiple opinion polls show that numbers of cohabitees does no reach even 2% of registered marriages. Nevertheless, rights of each individual despite his/her way of life should be secured legally.
In 1964 Lithuanian Republic Civil Code does not specify institute of the cohabitees partnership. Therefore, legal regulation of some relations of the cohabitees partnership is an innovation in the Lithuanian Republic’s civil law, though cohabitees could protect their rights effectively since the 1st of July 2001.
The author does not have pretensions to comprehensive analysis of cohabitees’ rights, as practice of courts in such situation is not abundant, however, he supposes this article will induce others study the above mentioned problems in some other aspects.
