Separating from your partner is a difficult and emotional time. If you need advice on separating from your civil partner we have the expertise to support and guide you through the process.
If you wish to end a civil partnership, one of the civil partners must petition the court for a Dissolution Order. These proceedings cannot start until 1 year after the civil partnership was registered and we will be able to advise and guide you through the legal requirements to enable you to do so. Once the dissolution proceedings have commenced, either party is entitled to apply for financial provision which can include maintenance or a lump sum, the transfer of a property, a pension share or other assets in sole or joint names.
Even if you decide that you do not want to immediately and legally end a civil partnership, you may still need to resolve financial issues in respect of which we have the expertise to advise and guide you through such a process.
