Unmarried couples living together often lack legal and financial settlement safeguards if their relationship ends, which leads to disputes over finances and assets. A cohabitation agreement outlines the management of property, finances, and children if the relationship concludes. Our family lawyers can provide legal protection and offer a clear understanding of your rights.
If you are separating or getting divorced and have children, you will need to consider arrangements for them. This includes child maintenance, child custody agreements (now known as child arrangements agreements) or whether anything else is required to resolve the arrangements for the children.
