Our Cohabitation Dispute Services
Cohabitation disputes can arise when couples who have lived together experience difficulties separating or disagree on how their shared property, finances, or responsibilities should be divided. Unlike married couples, cohabiting partners face complex challenges around property rights, which can make resolving disputes more complicated. At Lake Legal, our cohabitation dispute solicitors in Leeds provide expert advice on issues such as the division of property and financial support. We work closely with you to ensure your voice is heard and your legal entitlements are fully protected, whether through negotiation, mediation, or litigation if necessary.

Advice For Unmarried Couples
Outside of a marriage or civil partnership, the rights of cohabiting couples can be limited, and the law offers far less protection during a relationship breakdown compared to married couples. Unmarried couples have fewer legal rights and there can be significant complications. Contrary to popular belief, the term ‘common law marriage’ does not exist in English Law. Our team of cohabitation dispute solicitors in Leeds can help with your cohabitation agreements if you are not married.
The types of claims that can be made by unmarried couples are limited and can lead to uncertainty and financial hardship. For example, there is no right to a share of your former partner’s pensions and no right to financial support for yourself. However, there are ways that you can protect yourself and your appointed cohabitation lawyer in Leeds can guide you in the right direction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Below you will find a list of the commonly asked questions that our cohabitation dispute solicitors face. If you have any other legal question, please reach out to our cohabitation lawyers for further advice.
A cohabitation dispute arises when individuals who live together without being married or in a civil partnership have disagreements, often about property ownership, financial contributions, or living arrangements following a separation.
No – cohabiting couples do not have the same automatic legal rights as married couples. This can make disputes more complex, especially when it comes to property or financial arrangements. It’s important to seek advice from our experienced cohabitation dispute solicitors in Leeds to understand your position.
Costs can vary depending on the complexity of your case. At Lake Legal, our cohabitation dispute solicitors offer an initial consultation and will always be upfront and transparent about our fees, providing clear guidance on what to expect.
Not necessarily. Many cohabitation disputes can be resolved through negotiation or alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation. Our cohabitation dispute solicitor team will always aim to settle your matter without the need for court, where possible
