It is a common misconception that cohabiting couples have the same rights as married couples. There is no such thing in English Law as “common law marriage”. Cohabitation disputes can be extremely complicated and the law develops continuously to keep up with the modern family.
Our team has extensive experience in such cases and has regularly acted for couples in cohabitation disputes, Trust of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act cases and Children Act financial applications.

A cohabitation dispute is when couples who have been living together end their relationship and one person is asked to leave the residence that the couple shares. A cohabitation dispute can also arise if someone is choosing to cohabit with friends and family and there then comes a time when one party or another wants to move on and leave.
