Live-In Relationships in the Philippines

Question

In the context of a live-in relationship lasting nearly 13 years with one child, what are the recommended steps for both parties to reach an amicable settlement following their separation?

We Understand

Separation after a long-term live-in relationship can be emotionally challenging, especially when assets and responsibilities are involved. It's crucial for both parties to consider their rights and responsibilities during this transition. While we cannot offer personalized legal advice, we can provide general guidance on how to navigate such situations.

What To Do

When a long-term live-in relationship ends, it is advisable for both parties to engage in open and honest communication to discuss the division of assets, child custody arrangements, and financial support for the child's welfare. If an amicable agreement cannot be reached through negotiation, seeking legal counsel may be necessary to protect the rights and interests of both parties involved.
