Cohabitation Disputes
In England and Wales, there is no such thing as a "common law" husband or wife. Many people living together mistakenly assume that they enjoy the same rights as an individual who is married. Unfortunately, this is not the case.
While the legal process for unmarried couples is different and the rights enjoyed by such parties are different, cohabitants do have legal rights. At the time that cohabitants separate, they may obtain an ownership interest in property, even if it is not titled in their name, upon a sufficient offering of proof.
