There is no specific law in respect of co-habitation. To avoid difficulties in the event of separation it is wise to make provision prior to setting up home by way of a co-habitation agreement. This document is designed to set out your intentions and help to avoid or reduce difficulties in the event of separation.
In the event of these steps not being taken at the outset, we can offer practical advice and support to guide you through your separation to a satisfactory resolution.
In particular it may be necessary to establish specific legal interests in the matrimonial home based on specific legal title and/or specific or implied "trusts" as exhibited either by word or by behaviour.
