What rights do I have after split up with my partner?
If a cohabiting couple splits up, they do not have the same legal rights to property as a married couple. In general, unmarried couples can’t claim ownership of each other’s property in the event of a breakup. These trusts can be formed between cohabiting partners, and are a complex area of the law.

Can my partner force me to move out?
If you want to leave your family home, you can. In most cases, partners who are going to separate reach an agreement about who will leave the home. If they cannot agree, a family law court may be able to make an order that forces one partner to leave.
Do I lose my rights if I leave my home?
Your entitlement to a share of the property will not be reduced simply because you no longer live in your home. Your share of the home will remain intact until a final property settlement is either agreed between you and your ex-partner or decided by a Court.
Should I ignore my husband during separation?
Absolutely not. You’re simply giving the impression that you’re also living your own life to the best of your ability during the separation. This will usually make you seem more attractive than someone who is anxiously awaiting your spouse’s next call or text (and who is falling to pieces when it doesn’t come.)
What happens if you separate but never divorce?

Is it better to get divorce or stay married?
While some divorces are necessary, many marriages can be repaired. It may be difficult to face the issues that you and your spouse are struggling with, but research suggests that couples who can manage to stay together usually end up happier down the road than couples who divorce.
