Many unmarried, cohabiting couples have limited legal protections if their relationship ends or a partner dies, even after long-term relationships or raising children together.

Labour is consulting on reforms to strengthen the legal protections available to these couples.

[Lisa Edmunds @Lisa_Unit]
