Civil Partnership Dissolution

Like the ending of a marriage, the breakdown of a civil partnership is likely to be an emotional and distressing time.

If you are married and the relationship has broken down, our family law solicitors can guide you through a divorce. If you are in a civil partnership, we can guide you through a dissolution or legal separation.  

Law regarding divorce and dissolution changed in recent years so that it is no longer necessary to allege blame or wait for a period of separation in order to end a marriage or civil partnership. Similar to a divorce, you must have been in your civil partnership for a year before starting dissolution proceedings.  

Regardless of the reason for doing so, ending a civil partnership is likely to bring about significant change for you and your partner. Our family lawyers can also advise you on financial settlements when it comes to separating your finances, and arrangements for children, such as child custody and visitation. 

If you are considering applying for a civil partnership dissolution or have received dissolution papers, it is important to seek family law advice as soon as possible. Our trusted civil partnership dissolution solicitors can help you understand your position and the options available to you.  

Our expert family law team offer all clients an initial free consultation. In this first meeting, you can tell us more about your circumstances and we can better outline your options.
