Unmarried partners

The law treats unmarried couples very differently to married couples and there is no such thing as a ‘common law’ husband or wife.

If you live with your partner, or are planning to live with your partner, you can help to protect your interests by entering into a Cohabitation Agreement.

Financial Assets

We can advise unmarried couples on how to divide assets, such as a jointly owned property.  It may be that there is only one legal owner of a property, but you or your partner may still have an interest.

Children

If you or your partner have children, claims can be brought on their behalf to help provide for them financially.

We can also advise and help you to secure agreements in relation to the children, such as where they live, how much they see you or your partner and other specific issues, such as schooling, medical or religious issues.
