Protecting cohabiting couples
A cross-party committee of MPs has published a report calling for greater protections for people in cohabiting relationships.
The House of Commons Women and Equalities Select Committee found that women were particularly at risk because of the lack of protections afforded to people in cohabiting relationships on the breakdown of the relationship or the death of a partner.
While average divorce rates have been declining year by year, the number of splits among 50 to 70-year-olds is increasing. In fact, divorces involving those aged 65 and older have tripled since 1990.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) found that between 2005 and 2015, the number of men divorcing aged 65 and above went up by 23 per cent and women by 38 per cent.
