Advice on Separation

If you live together, the legal position is very different than if you had married. The common-law marriage is a myth. Your rights are limited.

Your rights in a home you share

A couple who live together may have a jointly owned property or you could live in a home owned by just one of you. If that is the case, rights can be acquired in certain limited circumstances. We can help you understand the position based on your circumstances.

Where do I start regarding Alison, her professionalism, acting on my behalf on a very personal and delicate issue was second to none. Her attention to detail and understanding made me feel like I was never alone and knowing I had somebody in my corner like Alison put me at extreme ease throughout a very dark time. Her personal caring attention to detail was not only evident in my court case but also after when she ensured I was personally ok, which made me so much stronger! Thank you Alison.
