LGBTQ+ Legal Support

Couples who live together do not have the same rights as couples who are married or in a civil partnership, even if children are involved. It is therefore important to understand your rights, especially if you are financially dependent on your partner – as if the relationship breaks down, you may be left in a vulnerable position.

Our solicitors can draw up a legally binding document, called a cohabitation agreement, that will set up how you would divide assets should you separate. We can also advise on cohabitation disputes, should an issue arise with your former partner.
