If you won the Euromillions, would you have to give some

[Letsseewhattomorrowbrings]

To your other half (not married, but living together and with a child)
I’m not talking morally/what would be fair to do
Just out of interest.
I live with Dp (quite unhappily ) and young dc. We’re not married, but together a long time. House in both our names, bar, bills and so on.
At the moment, he earns more than me, as I do the majority with our Dd and the majority of everything else. In the past I earned the same or more at points over the years.
Our bank account is joint.
If I were to purchase a ticket one day myself and I won, would I legally have to give any to him (not saying I wouldn’t) just curious
Realise this will never happen 😂

*Car, not bar

You wouldn't legally as you're not married. Morally on the other hand...

Would you want some of his if he won?

Not legally, but if you split up, I think he would be well within his right to come after a proportion of your winnings and stand a good chance of getting some.

If he won he'd be off. You wouldn't see him for dust.

No you wouldn't have to give home any if you didn't want to.

Not if they're not married he wouldn't

I always told my wife that winning the lottery would be fabulous and would improve our lives dramatically. I'd be able to meet her during her lunch break every day.

Why? How? Just a partner, Not married

Legally, no. But if he financially supports you currently when he has no legal obligation to do so, surely the same should be true in reverse.

The more important question is why you’re wasting your lives in an unhappy relationship. It’s damaging all of you.

@PToosher How do you know?

At the moment, he earns more than me, as I do the majority with our Dd and the majority of everything else.

You are in a vulnerable position if you are working part time as you’re not saving into your pension as much as him.

And if you split, you wouldn’t be entitled to a share of his pension but you would if you were married.

And no, if you won the lottery you wouldn’t have to share with him.

😂🤣😂

@LilBus Not saying I wouldn’t give him any, I said that a couple of times.

@HappiestSleeping 😂

@chiwwy I know

Not much of a future me with a few million and him counting the pennies

Because you are asking this question here.

He knows.

@PToosher What? Knows what

The legalities, for me, don’t matter. If we have a child/ren together and he isn’t abusive then he gets half as I’d want my child/ren to have comparable opportunities with both parents, not a significant lifestyle disparity 50/30/30 percent of the time.

If I won the euromillions I would absolutely split it with DP, either as a joint pot or by division. It’s such a huge sum it would be massively petty to hoard it to yourself, your life would be changed even if you halved it. Plus even if we split he would be the last person to love me for me (at the time) and not as a euromillions winner.

50/30/20 that should have said

On what grounds? Not married, so no legal requirement to share finances at all, never mind on breaking up.

Depends, if I won one of the silly amounts like 90m or whatever and I was unhappy - I’d probs just give him a million or whatever to fuck off quietly 😄

No you don’t have to give him anything because you’re not married.
