  • Ep 24 - Unmarried Couples and the Law: What Happens When You Split?
    Mar 11 2026
    Join us for a cuppa on Tea with EMG!

    We sit down with key members of our team and guests to discuss a range of topics relating to law and the services we provide at EMG Solicitors. Today Richard is joined by Rebecca Dover, a Solicitor from our Family Law team, along with Trainee Solicitor Christopher Blackett.

    Together, they explore what really happens when an unmarried couple decides to separate, and why the law treats these situations so differently from divorce. Rebecca & Chris discuss the financial implications of splitting up when you’re not married, what options are available if a couple can’t agree on what to do with their jointly owned home, and whether being engaged makes any legal difference at all. They also break down Section 17, Section 37 and TOLATA in clear, practical terms - explaining what each route involves and when they tend to be used. They also look at what couples can do while things are good, before any problems arise, to help avoid disputes further down the line.

    There’s growing recognition that the law hasn’t kept pace with the realities of modern family life - especially for cohabiting couples. Resolution’s push for meaningful reform, alongside recent indications of Government support, marks an important step toward ensuring these couples receive fair and sensible legal protection.
