Hi my name is ***** ***** like some advice, I have been living with my partner for 12 years about 3 years ago he was having a affair with my sister which I forgive him for. He is still married to his wife he works in London which I'm sure he is using brothels down there not only that he is ringing his wife and text her blowing her kisses. He has a house but I'm not on the mortgage and he also has a business. Where do I stand thank you karen

Still waiting for an answer

Hi, thank you for your question. Please confirm:

-Are there any formal agreements or deeds of trust between you?

-Do you have any children together, if so how old?

No deeds no trust no children

Thanks for confirming. Unfortunately the news is not great. In the absence of any formal agreements, you will have no rights to seek any split of assets or finances from him - cohabitation, even if it is for a very long time, raises no rights against each other under English law.
