Contrary to popular belief there is no such thing as common law marriage.
People who choose to live together rather than marry do not have the same rights and duties to each other and to third parties that married couples and Civil Partners do.
Unmarried couples who separate cannot claim maintenance or lump sums from each other and cannot claim against the others pension funds.
Unmarried fathers may not have parental responsibility for their children.
Unmarried couples do not automatically inherit anything from their partner on death where there is no will even if they have been together a long time.

It is becoming more and more popular for couples to try and agree what is to happen financially should their forthcoming marriage break down.
These agreements are then incorporated into formal documents known as Pre Nuptial Agreements (Prenups).
Prenups are still not binding in this country but on marriage breakdown the Courts are starting to find them extremely persuasive.
Prenups can be drafted to regulate financial matters during the marriage and on separation and divorce.
They can specify who owns what and how property and other assets accumulated during the marriage should be owned.
