9781902646527: Cohabitation Rights Guide (Law Pack guide)

Synopsis

As more couples choose not to marry, the legal and financial issues they face with parental responsibility, mortgages, separation and death become even more important to understand and address. The law recognises spouses as special but, by and large, ignores the relationship between unmarried people living together – even if it is in a committed relationship and there are children. As a result, cohabitants may need to address a number of different legal issues in their lives together and often this will involve separate documents, templates of which are provided and explained in this Guide.

This book by Philippa Pearson, a partner at a leading firm of family law lawyers, mediators and counsellors, discusses the options in cohabitation agreements, which cover financial matters and non-legal ‘living together’ agreements, and provides practical advice for couples.
