Civil Partnership FAQs

Answers to common questions about civil partnership dissolution

  • What is a civil partnership dissolution, and how is it different from divorce?

    Civil partnership dissolution is the legal process of ending a registered civil partnership. It is similar to divorce, but the terminology and specific legal procedures differ. The dissolution process involves officially terminating the civil partnership and resolving associated issues such as finances, property, and child custody.

  • What are the grounds for civil partnership dissolution?

    To obtain a civil partnership dissolution, one or both partners must prove that the relationship has irretrievably broken down.

  • Can we apply for a dissolution immediately after registering a civil partnership?

    No, there is a minimum waiting period before applying for civil partnership dissolution. Couples must wait at least one year from the date of registration before commencing the dissolution process.

  • Do I need to hire a solicitor for civil partnership dissolution?

    While it is not legally required, seeking legal advice and representation is highly recommended during the dissolution process. A solicitor can provide essential guidance, ensure your rights are protected, and assist with navigating complex legal matters related to finances, property, and children.

  • How long does the civil partnership dissolution process take?

    The duration of the dissolution process varies depending on individual circumstances and the complexity of the case. On average, it may take at least seven months to finalise the dissolution, but this timeline can be longer if there are disputes or disagreements that require resolution.
