28 Nov Podcast – Do cohabiting couples have any legal rights?
Katharine Scoot, partner and head of the family law department at HRJ Foreman Laws Solicitors in Hitchin, chatted with Carla Lett at mybump2baby about cohabitation and answers the question – do cohabiting couples have any legal rights?

Katharine explains that the legal rights between being married, and cohabiting are stark.
Even if you live with somebody for a long period of time and have children with them, this does not give you a right to their assets as it does in some countries. There is no such thing in the UK as a “common law wife”.
