Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Cohabiting Couples in Scotland, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Cohabiting couples in England and Wales generally have no automatic right to a shared home or to a partner’s assets when the relationship ends. A solicitor can help with planning ahead through cohabitation agreements, or with disputes arising from living together, such as property ownership, housing matters, and parenting arrangements. They also advise on how to resolve financial claims where evidence supports a result based on trusts, implied terms, or contributions to the home. The practical work often involves drafting or reviewing agreements, advising on rights under property law, and representing clients in related negotiations.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The work typically involves assessing how property is held or contributed to, identifying potential claims based on resulting or constructive trusts, and advising on how to protect interests through formal or informal agreements. It may also involve negotiating settlements or disputing ownership in disputes that arise from cohabitation, with reference to housing rights and family considerations.

Maisa RiaziZubair Dharamsi

Tagged solicitors Maisa Riazi and Zubair Dharamsi

I had a fantastic experience with Rose and Rose Solicitors. Both Zubair Dharamsi and Maisa Riazi were incredibly supportive throughout my case. They gave me excellent advice, explained the procedures clearly, and made what could have been a very stressful time feel manageable. Thanks to their dedication, I was able to secure contact with my children — and even my cat! They treated my situation with kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Truly lovely people who go above and beyond for their clients.

I used Christopher to assist with completing my financial consent order and finalising my divorce. Communication was clear, accurate and very prompt. Christopher and his team have a wealth of knowledge and dealt with every part of the process for me with no issues I would not hesitate to recommend Paul Robinson in the future. Thankyou for you professional assistance.

Ian Brunt

Tagged solicitor Ian Brunt

I worked with Ian regarding an Adoption case. I am an Advocate and I was the Litigation Friend for Dad. Ian was fantastic with the person I was supporting. Ian took time to explain to Dad, in great, simplistic language, what was happening, what Dad's rights where, and how I could help, and Ian could help too. Myself and Ian had a wonderful working relationship, ensuring the best possible outcome for Dad, working in joint partnership. Ian took great steps to explain in clear and honest communication what Dad's rights were, even in what was a very difficult case. Ian was knowledgeable, professional, responsive and always had a friendly smile to greet us. I would use Ian again and would recommend him to the colleagues in my organisation.

Anjani Fatania

Tagged solicitor Anjani Fatania

Looking for a solicitor to deal with my divorce finances was quite daunting. I decided to read the reviews for Fullers whilst searching online and was very impressed. Anjani Fatania was allocated to me and, from the moment we spoke on the phone, she made me feel incredibly comfortable and was very understanding of my needs. I was continuously kept up to date with my case and emails were responded to in a professional and courteous manner. I would like to congratulate Anjani and her team for their continuous professionalism

I instructed Callam Standen at OTB Legal for an FLR(M) unmarried partner application under Appendix FM. From the very first consultation Callam was honest, clear, and straight to the point. He told me what I needed to hear rather than what I wanted to hear, and that honesty gave me confidence throughout the process. My case had some complexity — my partner and I had not cohabited due to some reasons, and I was working to a very tight deadline. Callam understood the urgency, prepared a thorough and well-crafted application, and addressed every potential question the caseworker might have in a detailed cover letter. He also discussed the case with a senior colleague to make sure the strategy was right. The application was submitted using the super priority service and was approved the day of biometrics. I could not have asked for a better outcome. Callam was responsive, professional, and genuinely cared about getting this right. His fees were transparent and fair, and he even adjusted them when the scope of the case changed. I would recommend him and OTB Legal without hesitation to anyone in a similar position. Thank you Callam — you changed my life.
