with your partner, whether you are in an opposite-sex or same-sex relationship, you can claim any of the
following benefits as a single person:

1: Income Support

2: Income Based Jobseeker’s Allowance

3: Employment and Incapacity Allowance

4: Pension Credit

5: Housing or Council Tax Benefit

6: Tax credits

It is possible in some circumstances to apply to the court for some money from your partner. If you have
been living together you may be able to apply to the court under (Provision for Family and Dependents)
Act 1975.

The court will consider how long you lived together, your contributions to the relationship, how
dependent you were on your partner and your needs and resources such as income and property. And
your partner will be responsible to give you much more.

Answer 2:
Owning a property in joint names:
There is a difference between being named on the mortgage of a property and being named on the title
deeds of the property. A mortgage is a loan to finance paying for a property.

If the title deeds are in your joint names you are both the legal owners of the property. You both have
the legal right to live in the property and a financial interest in any profit you make from the property
under Co-ownership Property Laws. Therefore, he cannot force you to move out from the house. And
if he forces you to move out the house then you can make your claim. You will need to apply to the
County Court under section 14 of the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996
(TOLATA).
