Property & Co-Habitation
A friend of mine (really) has been living with her partner for 15 years. When she became pregnant with their eldest daughter the partners mother put up �10,000 in order for him to purchase a house.
My friend is not on the mortgage or deeds, as rather naively she signed a form stating that she was just a tenant in the property and that the house belongs solely to her partner.
They had their second child 10 years ago, and the relationship has been strained for around 8 years. He wants her to move out and leave the children with him. Obviously she doesn't want to do this and is anxiously waiting to the new co-habitation law to come into force.
Will the document she signed have an effect on the co-habitation law? she has earned more than her partner for the last 6 years, and she has worked for the last 10 years. She points out that he wouldn't have been able to pay the mortgage without her salary.
