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.

Testimonials

“In all aspects of the issues that occurred we couldn’t have asked for better service And would highly recommend her to anyone seeking or requiring legal advice or services in any and all matters.”

“Louise, I can’t thank you enough. What felt like such a stressful, overwhelming process became manageable with your support. You were clear, reassuring, and always on my side. You achieved the result I had been hoping for and that’s been a huge relief!”

“From my first telephone call, Alison provided an excellent service, going beyond what I expected. It was a very difficult, stressful time and her understanding and reassurance eased my concerns. Alison is a great listener and provides very clear explanations of options, implications and likely outcomes, which was so important for someone like me, without any experience on legal matters. Above all, Alison was always there for when I needed legal advice, responding promptly to my many queries and giving me the encouragement that I needed towards achieving a satisfactory settlement. With her invaluable help and empathy that objective was achieved.”
