It&#8217;s even more upsetting when there are children involved. On the other hand, it may be best for all parties to go their separate ways. This way, you get a chance to start fresh on your own.<br>The circumstances are unique in each case, but legally one set of regulations applies to common law partners and another to married spouses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-you-and-your-partner-are-separating\">When you and your partner are separating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s usually easier to separate when living as common law partners compared to being a married couple. <a href=\"https:\/\/kliently.se\/en\/news\/do-you-need-to-do-a-property-division\/\">A property division<\/a> can be an option if one of you wants it to be. Then you&#8217;ll have to go through your joint assets, value your debts and divide everything between you. However, you don&#8217;t need to do this if there&#8217;s a <a href=\"https:\/\/kliently.se\/en\/news\/have-you-signed-a-cohabitation-agreement\/\">cohabitation agreement<\/a> signed by both of you, where it&#8217;s made clear what belongs to whom in case of a separation. If one of you owns a home since before you became common law partners, that person is entitled to keep the home. However, it&#8217;s important that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aftonbladet.se\/nyheter\/kolumnister\/a\/8JGyrE\/du-kan-bli-av-med-halva-bostadsratten-efter-ny-dom-i-hd\">intention to the purchase of the home<\/a> is made clear. If it was bought for both of you to live in, legally each of you own half of the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-your-marriage-ends\">When your marriage ends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a little trickier if you&#8217;re married and is thinking about separating. On the other hand, it can be done much more smoothly if you have a <a href=\"https:\/\/kliently.se\/en\/news\/prenuptial-agreement-do-you-really-need-one\/\">prenuptial agreement<\/a>. You have to do a property division regardless, but what&#8217;s written in a prenuptial agreement, <a href=\"https:\/\/kliently.se\/en\/news\/do-you-need-to-write-a-deed-of-gift\/\">deed of gift<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/kliently.se\/en\/news\/3-reasons-why-you-should-write-a-will\/\">will<\/a> won&#8217;t be included in the division. There&#8217;s also an opportunity here for you if you think you have more of a right to your home, to argue your case. If children are included in the picture, the home belongs to the parent who lives with the children. But it&#8217;s important to remember that if it&#8217;s a property or condominium, whoever leaves the home also receives a corresponding financial compensation for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"pink-bold-span\">Do you need legal help?<\/h3>\n    <p class=\"cta-block-intro\">\n        We have several lawyers who can help you with this.
