Legal Relationship Definition
A legal relationship is a formal, legally recognized relationship between two people. This can include marriage, civil partnerships, and other types of relationships.
A legal relationship gives the couple certain rights and responsibilities. For example, they may be able to file taxes jointly, make medical decisions for each other, or inherit property from one another.
Couples in a legal relationship may also have access to certain benefits, such as health insurance or sick leave. In some cases, they may also be eligible for spousal support if the relationship ends.
