Living together

Couples living together without getting married or entering into a civil partnership can share all the aspects of married life without some of the legal protections.

It may be that you have no intentions of getting married or having a civil partnership however you may wish some advice as to where you stand should the relationship break up. This can be particularly important where there are children of the family.

We offer a range of ways to access our services. If you are looking for some initial advice our £149 Ask the Expert Session could be perfectly suited for you. For only £149 we offer you 45 minutes face to face advice with one of our Lincoln Based Family Law Solicitors.

You may also have heard of living together agreements which are also called co-habitation agreements. We can advise you and help you create and agreement for you and your partner.

Getting in touch could not be easier using one of our simple online enquiry forms or give us a call on 01522 523215. We promise to get back to you quickly with our same day promise.
