Relationship Breakdown

  • More than one in 6 adults in the UK cohabit and in the event of relationship breakdown have no automatic rights against or responsibilities for their former partner irrespective of the length of their relationship.

  • You will need clear and specialist advice in this complex area as your rights and responsibilities will depend on specific facts relevant to your relationship.

  • As the law often provides inadequate protection for cohabitees, it is advisable to enter into a 'living together agreement' when your cohabitation begins.

  • We deal with civil partnership dissolution for civil partners who have similar rights to married couples when their civil partnership ends.

  • If you have concerns that your relationship is breaking down or have separated you will need to take early advice to protect your position.
