Just wondering if any of the AAM legal eagles can confirm what is the exact financial entitlement of a couple who have been cohabiting for a number of years and decide to split?
Heard recently of a guy who owned his house in his name only and had to pay his partner €12,000 when they split up after 10 years of living together. She did not contribute to mortgage or daily running of the house. Its hard to understand why he had to pay anything? Is this unusual?
Two friends of mine went to see their solicitor, as one of them had been given a terminal diagnosis, so they wanted to update their wills. Their daughter was due to inherit their house, after their deaths. Solicitor forewarned them to make their daughter aware, that if when the house was hers and if she moved a partner in, if they contributed to even one bill, they would then be entitled to a settlement if they split up. Yet again seems hard to understand this?
