Living Together
Ashfords' Family Team also advises couples planning to live together, as well as those planning to separate.
Commonly this advice will lead to a cohabitation agreement or a prenuptial agreement.
Such agreements may deal with day-to-day aspects of living together but, more importantly, will address specifically how the couple will deal with division of finances should the worst come to the worst and they decide to separate. Resolving this ahead of breakdown may not be the height of romance but it is practical and likely to save a lot of cost and uncertainty if indeed they do decide to separate.
