Cohabitting couples too reliant on ‘mythical’ common law marriage

A new poll has revealed that two-thirds of cohabitating couples are unaware there is no such thing as a ‘common law marriage’ in England and Wales. The survey of more than 2,000 British adults was commissioned by Resolution, which represents family practitioners and campaigns for a fairer family justice system, and was published during ‘Cohabitation Awareness Week’. 79% of respondents thought there is a need for greater legal protection for unmarried couples upon separation.
