The service I received from Brighton and Hove Law, and from Lucy in particular, has been absolutely incredible and I can’t thank Lucy enough. She has been super professional, provided me with detailed and expert knowledge, explained everything to me really clearly, and been so reassuring and supportive at such a traumatic and stressful time. She is really kind, approachable, detailed and thorough, and always responded quickly and arranged calls and meetings at times to suit me, making me feel like nothing was too much trouble. I honestly couldn’t have got through the last 2 years without her.
How can we help?
The law treats cohabitation very differently to the separation of couples who are married or have formed a civil partnership. Unmarried couples have fewer legal protections, so it may be necessary to contact a specialist to outline the law regarding separation in cohabitation.
We can offer our advice regarding issues with finances, which are more complex for unmarried couples and generally rely on land law, to children disputes. It is worth noting there are few differentiations regarding child arrangements in married and unmarried couples.
There are still, however, ways of protecting yourself and we can support you through the process. It is recommended that unmarried couples should consider creating a legally binding cohabitation agreement to make the process of separation easier. If this isn’t possible, we are still able to help you understand the options available to you.
If you think you may need our help, or have any further questions, please contact us.
