commonlaw does not exist, just throw her out if and when you want.

Common sense says she is entitled to fuck all, because everythings in your name. Our country, however, doesn't know what common sense is so yeah, check everything. I would say though that she can't get anything. She used the energy etc she put half too, the mortgage is in your name and its her kid, not yours, so I would say you can be worry-free.

any rights that 'common' law' partners can possibly have appear to be a bit on the 'vague' side ...
citizens advice will put you straight one way or the other...
other than that some solicitors may offer an initial free half hour appointment , at which you could probably ask the question.

my sister was living with her daughter's dad a few years ago, he started getting violent so she went to a solicitor to see what she was entitled to. he basically showed her a page in his book and said " read that". it spelled out that because the house was in his name and they werent married she was entitled to nothing, nada, zilch!!

stony said:She has a kid and that is the dodgy part. I'm not sure if you are allowed to make a child homeless, which is what you'd be doing if you kicked her out.
I would say that makes things easier for them to be rehomed as quickly as possible though. The OP doesn't have a relationship with this woman and it's not his child so really, he can do as he pleases, he has no tie to them.stony said:She has a kid and that is the dodgy part.
