A guide to the legal consequences of cohabitation and to how to avoiding future disputes.

More and more people are living together. The relationship they have may be similar to marriage but in the eyes of the law it is very different. Should the relationship breakdown the position of the parties is entirely different from that had they been married. The Court will not have the power to vary interests in property as in a divorce settlement and it is therefore essential for the parties to properly set out the financial position that is intended.

This Kit explains the legal position of cohabitees to each other and provides all that is necessary to protect the interests of parties who are intending to live together.
