Cohabitation

You have fewer financial rights as a cohabiting couple than you do as a married couple as there is no legal definition of cohabitation or living together. This obviously makes things more complicated in the event of separation and can increase the stress during an already difficult time.

One of the most persistent of urban myths is that of the ‘common law marriage’. For some reason the belief that couples living together have the same protection and rights under the law as married couples is wide spread and unfortunately just not true. Don’t get caught out!

rhw solicitors have a knowledgeable and compassionate team of Family lawyers that will help mitigate risk through legally binding agreements and, if you have no such agreement in place, can advise and assist you during the difficult separation process. Call us on 01483 302000 or complete our contact form.
