Hi
Your partner may not be earning an income but she certainly is saving you alot of money though as fulltime childcare isn't cheap !
If you are in a relationship that you intend to stay in the personally I think you should jointly own the property. You each have your roles in your relationship. Make sure you've got wills etc sorted out too !

What everyone forgets when parents are not married is schedule 1 of the Children Act. A parent ( usually the mother ) “could” make a claim against the other working parent to house the child until that child is 18. Essentially kicking you out ..... but NOT taking the property in its entirety, just until the child becomes an adult.Its not often used as its generally against rich fathers as costs can and are awarded for failed sch 1 applications, unlike most other family applications.But its worth remembering its a risk. Its less of a risk than putting her on the deeds right now though. When she gets the inheritance, she could buy her share ?0
