ID cards, are you scared?

You mean that pointless piece of paper which does not discern between the financial contributions of married or unmarried couples sharing everything but only penalising the unmarried victims?
Gotcha.
Glad to see that the law will recognise the efforts of unmarried contributors now.
what piece of paper did you have in mind?

Unmarried people have not entered into a marriage. Do you think the government should force people living together to get married?

The one that says- I’ve contributed loads financially, whist we were together but under previous law I would leave the relationship with nothing, but now thanks to new legislation I will be recognised and be financially recompensed for my efforts - piece of paper.
pointless waffle

That is not currently the case

Glad I could educate you... again. (y)
 
Yes I know. You would have exploded by now, if the legislation had been mandated into UK law.
It is not currently the case that a person who "contributed loads financially, whist [they] were together but under previous law would leave the relationship with nothing".

It's not been that way for at least 30 years. The Government's proposal is those who have contributed nothing can make a claim.
Interestingly there is a paragraph in the consultation document called “cohabitation agreements” . :cool:
and a clause in the draft legislation nullifying them.
 
Because they haven't entered into a contract. Marriage is a contract, an explicit agreement to share everything.

Can you think of other contracts that you haven't agreed to, explicitly or implicitly that can bind you?
Actually it's not an 'explicit agreement' to 'share everything'...

Otherwise why do you think divorce courts/lawyers exist? :rolleyes:

So there goes your argument!

Modern day thinking is that it matters not whether a piece of paper is involved, people should have rights over assets regardless...

You are clinging on to a bygone era ;)

You mean like staying at home and raising children means a person has 'contributed nothing'?

Btw, in the modern era that doesn't mean that the person who has given birth is necessarily the one looking after the kids ;)

Marriage is the joining of two people - everything generated during the marriage irrespective of effort, financial contribution etc is considered a marital asset.

No.

No.
So according to you that only applies to married couples...

Interesting to see you dismiss the rights of the majority of people in the UK who choose not to have that 'piece of paper' you cling to for your argument...

As I said you belong to a bygone era...

And you are in a minority!
