Marriage ‘back in fashion’
Marilyn Stowe, senior partner at Stowe Family Law, said the continued trend of cohabitation before marriage presents a case for further protection for couples living together.
On the back of statistics which showed 42% of marriages ended in divorce, Ms Stowe said: “With so many people marrying later in life a fair division of assets, should they ultimately separate, would bring clarity and simplicity to what is still an all too cumbersome process.”
