Cohabiting vs marriage: Six ways your rights differ

If one cohabiting partner dies without leaving a will, the surviving partner will not automatically inherit anything - unless the couple jointly own property. A married partner would inherit all or some of the estate

An unmarried partner who stays at home to care for children cannot make any claims in their own right for property, maintenance or pension-sharing

Cohabiting partners cannot access their partner's bank account if they die - whereas married couples may be allowed to withdraw the balance providing the amount is small

An unmarried couple can separate without going to court, but married couples need to go to a court and get divorced to end the marriage formally

Cohabiting couples are not legally obliged to support each other financially, but married partners have a legal duty to support each other

If you are the unmarried partner of a tenant, you have no rights to stay in the accommodation if you are asked to leave - but each married partner has the right to live in the "matrimonial home"

You say this like it's a bad thing.

Every single one of these things screw the guy in favor of the woman. No wonder it's "problematic".

Essentially it sounds like they want to establish a form of "divorce" for couples who cohabitate.

This will be slanted in favor of women I'm sure.

Mother-of-five Yvonne, who was with her ex-partner 17 years, said she was "shocked to find out" her legal rights when they ended the relationship.

"I was entitled to nothing," she said.

"I was no longer just dealing with a break-up - but with the fallout of not being legally entitled to share in any of what I thought were our joint assets."

D fucking nied

Just last year the mother of my niece died...the grandmother came after my brother for visitation rights and won. Now he can't even move out of the state without being dragged back into court...ooooo yeah and the grandmother doesnt have to pay any kind of child support.

I remember reading an article that said divorce lawyers are losing business. So they ware lobbying government to extend divorce benefits to people who live together. And you know what? When they pass this law, they will make it retroactive. So if a guy lives with a woman 10 or 20 years ago, he too will owe her alimony.
