Are you in dispute with your partner over the terms of your cohabitation agreement? Would you like legal advice to understand your options? We can help.
Changes in society over the years have seen more couples in the UK choosing to marry later or not at all. While cohabitation is on the rise, many people are unaware that cohabitees do not enjoy the same legal protections or financial benefits under UK law as those who are married or in a civil partnership.
One way to address this is to have a cohabitation agreement between you and your partner. This can agree how your assets are owned, how bills and other outgoings are divided and how things should be divided up if your relationship comes to an end.
Of course, like any other legal agreement there can be disputes between the parties, especially if the relationship turns sour. If you have a cohabitation agreement in place and this happens to you then you need the right legal team to support you and make sure you don’t lose out.
