In this podcast we discuss the differences in the rights of those who are married -v- those who are unmarried in the context of separation, highlighting the differences in the law which applies. Hannah Petherick, highly experienced family partner at Burges Salmon talks about the rights of those that are married upon separation, how financial matters are resolved in the divorce context and how mediation is approached. In contrast, Emily Roskilly, partner at Roskilly & Co outlines her experience in the unmarried couple context, highlighting the rights/current lack of rights for unmarried couples, how mediation is approached and the timescales of resolving disputes.

We hope this podcast is of interest to all clients and perspective clients and also to practitioners who may want to learn more about the rights available on separation and the contrast between the two positions as to whether you are married or unmarried.
