Overview

A registered civil partnership confers similar rights, obligations and duties as those conferred upon married couples.

Our team has experience of acting for registered civil partners in the dissolution of their civil partnership and will handle your case with the sensitivity and clarity necessary during such a difficult time.

We can advise you about the procedure for dissolving your civil partnership and prepare the necessary paperwork for you. If you have received paperwork regarding dissolving your civil partnership from the Court or from your civil partner or his/her lawyer, we can go through this with you and deal with the paperwork on your behalf if necessary.
