Cohabitee Rights
If you are living with your partner and/or raising children outside of marriage you do not have the same protection as a married couple if the relationship breaks down.
This raises the question over what are unmarried couples’ rights? Do you have more rights if there is a child born within your relationship?
Our experienced team are experts in dealing with solutions for couples living together. To protect yourself should the relationship breakdown in the future, we recommend all unmarried couples have a “Living Together Agreement” or “Cohabitation Agreement” which will document information about your financial position and who owns what including the title ownership of the property, payment of outgoings and the payment of any building work. It also provides for financial and practical arrangements in the event of the relationship breaking down.
How we can help with your Cohabitee Rights
Should your relationship break down without a “Living Together Agreement”, our family solicitors are experienced in advising individuals on their property and financial rights. We take a straightforward approach to resolving your dispute as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.
The team also deals with Schedule One Children Act 1989 claims in relation to claims a resident parent of a child can make for financial support and provision for a child whether by payment of maintenance, lump sum and/or transfer of property whilst the child is a minor, or school fees.
