Twenty-first century relationships come in various shapes and sizes – it’s what makes our world so richly diverse and interesting – but it also means that no one solution fits all.

That world, too, has become significantly smaller – globalisation combined with the wonders of technology and ease of travel have made cross-border couples more prevalent than ever.

And with people living and working longer many families comprise a unique blend of not one, but two or more significant relationships.

The law in this area regrettably lags behind the times. Cohabitees are the second largest family type in England & Wales but they are still without the legal status of those joined together by marriage.

So, wherever you are, whatever your relationship and however large or small the problem you now face we are here to help you understand the relevant law, advise on the available solutions and represent you in any legal processes.
