Your Spouse Clause Samples

The "Your Spouse" clause defines who is considered the spouse of a party within the context of the agreement. It typically clarifies whether the term includes only legally married partners or also extends to domestic partners or common-law spouses, depending on the jurisdiction and the intent of the parties. By specifying this definition, the clause ensures that any rights, obligations, or benefits in the contract that refer to a spouse are applied consistently and without ambiguity, thereby preventing misunderstandings or disputes regarding eligibility.
