Civil Partnerships and cohabitation issues
There are many misunderstandings about the status of parties who choose to live together without ever getting married. We specialise in dispelling those misunderstandings and providing accurate, objective advice and support.
Here's how we can help
Our experienced team will provide you with practical and cost-effective advice on all aspects of cohabitation.
We are also able to advise upon the Civil Partnership Act 2004, which created a new legal status for ceremonies celebrated by same-sex couples. We can also provide advice and guidance on issues arising from the breakdown of Civil Partnerships.
Whatever the issue, we’re committed to making sure that a solution is found in a cost-effective and practical manner, taking into account the interests of any children involved.
We’ll encourage a constructive approach to disputes, aiming to resolve any issues with speed and practicality.
To talk to us about any family matters we can help you with, please contact Jonathan Dunkley, call 0191 211 7918 or alternatively email us at
