Civil partnership: The dissolution process

The Civil Partnership Act came into force in December 2005. We can advise you as to what this means for you and your same sex partner.

If you wish to dissolve a civil partnership, our family lawyers are here to provide expert guidance.

We provide you with clarity on your circumstances and focus on protecting your long-term interests.

We work alongside you to secure an outcome that protects your finances, future and your children, if you have them.

How can we help you

Our specialist family lawyers support you with a range of matters, including:

  • Preparing and filing a sole or joint civil partnership dissolution application
  • Applying for the conditional and final order
  • Child arrangements and parental responsibility
  • Support you through Mediation and other non-court dispute resolution (NCDR) where appropriate
  • Negotiating a financial settlement ancillary to the dissolution proceedings
  • Guiding you and advising you throughout the financial remedy proceedings if matters cannot be resolved amicably
  • Drafting legally binding consent orders to formalise financial agreements
