Extend legal rights and obligations of married people to cohabiting partners

Petition Details

Unmarried cohabiting partners should have the same legal rights and obligations as a married couple once they have been together for five or more years. Society has changed with many men and women not wanting to be married. We need to keep up with the way things are currently.

Additional Information

I am currently in a separation situation with three children, and have none of the legal rights that I would if I was married. People in my circumstances should have the same rights as married people.
