Living Together
Over 1.1 million unmarried couples live together. Many own their own house and have children. Unfortunately, the average length of such relationships is now about three years so what happens if the relationship breaks down? The first thing to remember is there is no such thing as a common-law husband or wife. Unlike married couples or same sex couples, there are no special laws that govern what happens. As a result, we have to fall back on general legal principles relating to ownership of property and Trusts, etc. It is essential when trying to sort out these types of problems that you have a solicitor who is experienced in dealing with these issues.
Why Choose Us?
We regularly handle disputes of this nature and you will find our advice clear and practical. In the vast majority of cases, disputes between couples who live together are eventually settled by agreement without the need for Court proceedings. However, if Court proceedings are required, we will fight tirelessly to achieve the right outcome for you.
