Cohabitation Solicitors
Cohabitation disputes can be extremely complicated and the law is constantly developing. At Browell Smith & Co Solicitors our family law team has extensive experience in such cases and regularly acts for separated couples who were not married.
With offices Newcastle, Cramlington, Ashington and Sunderland, our dedicated and experienced family law team advises on all aspects of the law relating to cohabitation.
Whether it is for a client who wishes to clarify the ownership of any property or assets, advice after a relationship has broken down or finances in relation to the children then we can assist and guide you.
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.
