Co-habitation legal advice
Many couples cohabit, either long-term or prior to marriage or a civil partnership. Cohabitees do not have automatic rights to maintenance or a share of property or other assets.
If you are living with someone, you should consider making plans for the future, such as a cohabitation agreement. You should also ensure that any jointly owned property is held in the right way for your circumstances so that you retain the control you want over your share of it.
Our family lawyers in Notting Hill can advise cohabiting couples on issues including:
- Making a cohabitation agreement

Pre-nuptial agreements & post-nuptial agreements
Making a pre-nuptial agreement (‘pre-nup’) or post-nuptial agreement (‘post-nup’) is a sensible way to protect your future financial security and that of any children you have from a previous relationship.
While this type of agreement is not legally binding, if it is drawn up correctly and you and your spouse have taken independent legal advice before signing, the court is likely to take the agreement into account when making any decisions about your situation.
