Cohabiting Relationship Ended - Seperation Agreement?
Discussion
I've recently split up with the Mrs after ten years, having lived together for 6.5 of them.
It hasn't taken long and whilst she is quite discussive at the moment I need to protect my investments, and I have done a fair bit of reading on "Beneficial Interest" and also "Separation Agreements".
The truth is EVERYTHING is in my name, but she obviously contributed, without going into the figures I know she could, if she chose to, take me to court for half of the equity in the house. I just wondered if anyone had used an agreement themselves in a similar situation where both people sign in and agree to draw a line under it for £x rather than it getting all messy.
It's an avenue I am keen to explore as I don't think she knows what she could potentially claim, she has offered me a very low in comparison offer but I just want to be sure of my options. Before anyone says it, I have a solicitors appointment booked for Thursday afternoon, but would welcome any experience in this area so I can be as best prepared for that meeting as possible.
I thank you.
