Help save a civil union

Latest posts by Matthew Hoy (see all)

Matthew Mallinson and Brett Rice were a young couple who first met at the University of Huddersfield in 2010, and later joined in a civil union in 2012. They now face their darkest days.

Due to certain pieces of legislation requiring minimum earnings to be eligible for a civil union visa, the pair might be separated indefinitely. Brett, who has recently completed his MBA and is now employed full-time, worked as a waiter in his spare-time during his studies. Due to having such a low-paying job, he and Matthew have failed to meet the required annual earnings by a mere ₤361.20.

However, bureaucracy reigns supreme and the legality surrounding this whole journey has become somewhat complex and many a word of legal jargon has been thrown into the fray. With a few seconds of your precious time we can save a civil union and prevent their happily ever after becoming a nightmare.
