Cohabitation disputes and agreements

If you need help with the legalities of cohabitation, call Cleaver Thompson Solicitors in Alfreton and Clay Cross.

Help with legal complexities

There are very different legal implications for cohabiting couples than there are for married couples. Let us help you move forward through the legal complexities of agreements and separation.

THE LATEST LEGAL UPDATES

Cohabitation law can be complex if a couple isn’t married, and our legal experts will help ensure you take the right action. Before you make any arrangements, ensure you know the latest legal updates regarding cohabitation. Dividing assets such as property or valuables is not as straightforward, and there is no automatic entitlement to finances, pension, or maintenance for either party. Whether the parents are married or not has no implications when arranging children’s living arrangements or maintenance.

Cohabitation agreements

Despite the greater complexity involved with an unmarried separation, it can be made a much smoother, less stressful, and much less expensive process with a cohabitation agreement that is legally binding. Our experts will ensure that your interests are protected in the event of a separation. It doesn’t matter whether you are a couple of the opposite sex or the same sex, the benefits of setting up a legally binding cohabitation agreement are obvious.

Resolve your differences

We can help you resolve your differences and ensure there are fair settlements that guarantee a balanced and equitable outcome in the event of a separation. You can contact us to arrange:

 

  • A declaration of trust – this confirms how much equity each individual will own in the event of a separation

  • Cohabitation agreement – this is more detailed, and includes childcare arrangements and how finances and other assets should be divided

  • A Will – unmarried cohabitants do not automatically inherit any assets or property if one of you dies without leaving a Will.
