Hi, I am new to the forum because everything i read seems to be about married couples. I wanted to see if there was anyone out there who could offer any advice on the following article that appeared in the Guardian 31 October 2006
"Divorce rights for unmarried couples"
Would appreciate any feedback.
Kind Regards
Nicola

Hi,

Don't know if anything has been set in law on this as of yet. Maybe divorcelawyer can help on this topic.

Some of the items that would need to be considered are length of time spent co-habiting, joint/individually owned assets, children, pets?.

I take it you have been in a long term relationship and are now separating. If you are still on speaking terms, it may still be possible to divide the assets in a 'civil' way. Unfortunately when you are not on speaking terms these sorts of things can get quite expensive with solicitor/court fees.

Sorry I can't be of more help but hopefully other wiki peeps can add.

At the moment and for the foreseeable future there are no right for cohabitants in England & Wales. In Scotland there are limited rights for cohabitants.
