Details

Provides commentary, checklists, procedural guides and precedents in a single volume, making it an invaluable aid to all practitioners advising unmarried couples. Fully updated to reflect the new FPR and comes with a CD-ROM containing all the precedents.

The numbers of unmarried cohabiting couples continue to increase, with the result that the law and practice relating to this area continues to grow in significance for family and private client lawyers. This new edition of Cohabitation: Law, Practice and Precedents has been extensively revised to take account of the Family Procedure Rules 2010 and includes a new section on welfare benefits, as well as analysis of significant case law such as the Supreme Court’s ruling in Jones v Kernott.

Whether preparing a cohabitation contract or ante-nuptial agreement, drafting wills for cohabiting couples, advising on rights on the breakdown of a relationship or the death of a partner, or applying for a personal protection order or a parental responsibility agreement, practitioners will find authoritative analysis of the applicable law and expert guidance on procedural issues.

Cohabitation: Law, Practice and Precedents is the only work on the subject to provide commentary, checklists, procedural guides and precedents in a single volume making it an invaluable aid to all practitioners advising unmarried couples. This new edition comes with a CD-ROM containing all the precedents covered in the volume.
