If you are not married, then it is important that you are aware of your rights in the event of a breakdown of the relationship. Unmarried couples do not have the same rights on relationship breakdown as married couples. If you are going through a breakup, and need specialist advice, call me today on 07917711887.
It is essential to seek family law advice to ensure that your wealth is protected and that everyone, including children, knows where they stand in the event of the relationship failing.
Some unmarried couples labour under the misapprehension that have legal rights because they are a ‘common law’ husband or wife. The outcome of a relationship breakdown is very different to a marriage breakdown. The rights that both parties have are often confined to property law and Schedule 1 of the Children Act 1989.
