If you and your partner are planning to live together SA Law can advise on how you can arrange for a Cohabitation Agreement to be drawn up setting out the agreement reached between you regarding your finances if you subsequently separate.
If you are not married but your relationship has broken down, you may have several decisions to make .
For example:
- If property is held in joint names, is it to be sold, and if so how will the proceeds be divided?
- If property is held in the name of only one of you the Trust of Land and
- Trustees Act can allow recognition of contributions to the mortgage or purchase price.
- Can you establish a claim to property under a Constructive or Resulting trust
- Maintenance for the children
- Who will the children live with and what contact will the other parent have?
