Sometimes couples choose to live together in long-term relationships without marrying, and this can often result in complications when disputes arise. This is because contrary to popular belief there is no such thing as a ‘common-law’ husband or wife, meaning in the event of a separation the rights afforded are completely different.
For couples who have no intention of marrying, it is advisable that a Cohabitation Agreement is signed early on in the relationship. This legal document outlines an agreement between both parties, addressing a whole spectrum of potential issues, including: mortgage payments, content ownership, outgoings and more.
In the absence of a cohabitation agreement and in the event of a dispute between cohabiting couples, legal assistance can be provided by the specialists at Llewellyn-Jones. This includes advising on:

With all assets becoming matrimonial assets once married, many couples are now signing pre-nuptial agreements as a way to legally record what is owned by each partner. By doing this, each party’s interests can be secured for the future, making separation an easier and more transparent process should the relationship breakdown . This can prevent disputes in the long term and can relieve some of the stress involved, especially where children are concerned.
