Deciding who gets what during a divorce is never a simple matter. And when live-in couples call it quits, the lines dividing property become even more blurred. Who gets the car and who gets the house when live-in couples go their separate ways? Who gets to keep the engagement ring when wedding plans are called off?

• Partnerships - How do you prove a partnership exists between parties who cohabit?
• Implied promise to marry - How do you prove a breach of a promise to marry?
