Don't want to marry but have kid on the way

Originally posted by NibblyPig View PostCan you elaborate on why this is the case? Because there is a huge difference according to the law. You only get something if you split when unmarried if it can be proved that you intended to get married in the future, you have a stake in the assets (e.g. paid part of the mortgage), or there are children involved (the children are entitled to a share of your assets). You might have to pay some rent or similar if your partner is without a home.
According to the law, you won't get fleeced for half your stuff, and it looks MUCH more favourable than being married.
BTW you can simply do a decent amount of DIY to have a claim to the assets. I knew a woman who had to pay her ex because the DIY he had done helped to increase the value of the house. In their case the people who won where the lawyers. If she had just given him £20K it would have been cheaper......"You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Originally posted by ELBBUBKUNPS View PostMy misses has our child on the way, I don't want to marry though might be something to do with the fact both my parents married and divorced 3 x each ! Plus my dad got bent over £ wise by two of his ex-wifes.
I'm getting big pressure to propose etc from gf and her family as kid now on the way and I don't want to get married.
If I don't marry her do I lose rights to see my child etc if we then split ? Currently gf lives in my house which is soley in my name, she had to sign a doc saying she had no interest in it (requested by bank not me), she has her own property she lets out.
--------------------------
Can I ask how you feel about the child? Quite frankly both you and your partner should be concentrating on what is best for the child. And marriage is irrelevant to that.
Could I do some stupid marriage jokes now? Marriage is 3 rings - engagement, wedding, suffer. Marriage is finding out what sort of man your wife would have preferred. Do you own a batman outfit?
Should I look back to see how much abuse has been heaped upon me? Or is it the usual boring stuff?Comment
