That you can't make a claim for spousal support and half of someone's pension if you were never married, and split up over 10 years ago?
CM paid in full, above legal obligation, plus additional expenses, private school, holidays, clothes, holiday & birthdays etc.

@LaLuz7 - you can opt out with cohabitation agreements. Also prenups are far more accepted by the courts here. So those who know what they're getting into and agree to it are fine. Those who promise the world to their partners but never have any intention of following through have to make it obvious with a written agreement, or they get caught out.
