For couples moving in together, the financial and other implications of living together can be considerable including how they own property, how they structure their finances, and decisions they make about children.
Most couples find a constructive discussion about how to manage their finances helps and having what they have agreed written down means there is no dubiety. In our experience, setting out the financial arrangement from the outset is key to providing clarity for a couple living together.
