About LivingTogether

Click here to go to our LivingTogether pages.

Our LivingTogether campaign counters the popular myth that people gain legal rights simply by living with their partner for a certain period of time.

3 Things that don't exist - Cartoon by Phil EvansOn the LivingTogether pages we explain exactly what rights you really have if you live with your partner and make clear what you need to do to ensure that both you and your partner are protected from whatever the future may hold.

We use real-life stories, quizzes, and top tips to highlight the areas where the law doesn’t protect couples living together, and in-depth practical guides to show readers exactly what they can do to protect themselves and their partner.

LivingTogether information applies to England and Wales only.
The law in Scotland and Northern Ireland is significantly different.
