Disentangling Financial Affairs When Partners Break Up
The solicitors of Haider Kennedy advise people who need guidance when their partnerships come to an end for whatever reason in both business and domestic relationships. If you're part of an unmarried couple that is breaking up, or if you need to protect your investment in an unregistered business partnership, we can help you establish your right to a fair division of the partnership property.
Contact Haider Kennedy in Croydon for a no-charge consultation with an experienced property dispute lawyer. Our experience with the proof and enforcement of unwritten contracts can help you obtain the benefit of an informal agreement when the relationship comes to an end. We recognise that in some cases it will not be possible to prove an agreement with enough specificity to allow meaningful enforcement. We might still find a way to help you recover the value of your household or professional contributions through such equitable approaches as estoppel or constructive trust.
Discuss Your Situation With a South London Cohabitation Law Solicitor
When unmarried couples who live together break up, there is very little chance that UK family law will apply as it would in divorce cases to the property division aspects of the situation. If you had a cohabitation contract drawn up and signed in proper form, the terms of that agreement will define the rights of each person upon the dissolution of the joint household.
Relatively few people enter into such agreements, however. In most cases, it will be necessary to negotiate a settlement based on the contributions of each person to the purchase of the house and furniture, the mortgage payments, the utilities and other household essentials. It can also be possible in some circumstances to define enforceable rights in terms of a partner's reasonable expectations or reliance based on the overall facts of the situation. Haider Kennedy solicitors can advise you about your options, and we can take your case to court if necessary to protect your interests.
