Cohabitation agreements provide the same rights to insurance and company health care benefits and filing taxes together. I'm sure there's probably more to it than just these, but these were the main points that I remember.
Unless things have changed, on break up, the only assets that would be split would be those that were aquired and owned by both parties during the time of the cohabitation.
I was in a similar situation years ago and read several court cases to see what my rights were. The only cases where right to the housing asset was awarded (and not a full 50/50 split as I recall) was in situations where there was proof that the party that didn't own the house had put in significant money or time towards renovations and improvements.
