Civil partnerships
In a civil partnership, you and your partner have legal rights and responsibilities to each other. Upon registration of a civil partnership, same sex couples
acquire many but not all of the legal rights and benefits currently enjoyed by married couples.
Should your relationship break down, the procedure for dissolving the civil partnership is closely based on the process of ending a marriage.
Our specialist family lawyers have extensive experience in the breakdown of civil partnerships and we can advise you on the law and procedures involved in dissolving the partnership, especially if you have children or if there are financial issues that need to be resolved.
Alternatively, if you prefer to separate rather than dissolve the partnership,
we can help you draw up a separation agreement which records the terms
of the separation.
