How romantic! Congrats to him and all the best to you xx speak to your IP as soon as you come down from cloud 9 and explain the situation. If you were already living together, I see no reason to change either of your financial arrangements. If you are newly living together, your IP may want to complete a new I&E form for the household. Again, best wishes to you both!

Hi Sean

Congratulations!! Based on the position that only change to your circumstances is that you have got married, there should be no reason to worry about your IVA at all. You simply need to continue to make your parments as before.

However, if you are now going to start making changes in terms of your living together or the way you deal with your living expenses, you need to speak to your IP and discuss everything with them.
