Experienced Cohabitation Disputes

To get the support you need, call 0151 236 8871 or book a call with our legal experts.

There has been a big increase in the number of couples who choose to live together prior to or instead of marriage or civil partnership. Many cohabitees are choosing to buy a property together to get on the property ladder.

There is a common misconception that cohabitees have the same rights as married couples or civil partners under common law. This is not the case, and the law for cohabitees is different from that for divorcing couples or dissolutions of civil partnerships.

Unfortunately, some relationships do break down, and if you are not married or in a civil partnership, then it can be difficult to unravel the threads of your life together.

Our team can advise you on the following areas:

• Recovering a financial interest in a property upon relationship breakdown.
• Protecting interests in a property
• Occupation of a property following relationship breakdown
