Living Together
Before you live together
Whether you are planning to marry or not, with a new relationship it is sensible to seek advice before you start to live together. You can avoid potential problems and expensive legal wrangling later by having a Living Together or Cohabitation Agreement or pre-nuptial agreement drawn up
When living together doesn’t work out
If you haven’t got married but have been living together and your relationship breaks down then you may need our help. Although there is no legal concept of “common law marriage”, you may need assistance to sort out property ownership, debt, investments or savings and any problems with children.
