Rights for separating cohabitants…
…the debate continues!
The Government’s decision not to give any financial rights to the weaker party when a cohabiting couple separate (see ‘No change in cohabiting law‘ post) has obviously caused concern in some quarters. I see that the matter was debated on Woman’s Hour on Radio 4 on Friday 23 September. I hope that the issue will not go away and that at some point before too long the Government will succumb to pressure and reconsider.
