Money Box Live: Love and Money
This Money Box Live is all about love. We’re looking at how to split bills, make savings and deal with debt as a couple. What could be more romantic than that?
This week we are talking all things love and money and what co-habiting, marriage and divorce mean for your finances.
Do you split the bills evenly or have a complicated spreadsheet to work out who pays what?
It comes as recent research published by the University of Bristol revealed 100,000 couples divorce in England and Wales every year - but only a third of them use the legal system to sort out their finances - the majority negotiate their own arrangements or in the worst cases, reach no settlement at all.
So, Felicity Hannah will cover everything from how to have those tricky money conversations with each other to how couples split their finances.
This week to answer your questions and comments, we're joined by Laura Suter, Head of Personal Finance at AJ Bell and Nigel Shepherd, specialist family lawyer and consultant with Mills & Reeve.
