How to end a Civil Partnership.
Whilst a Civil partnership is different to a marriage in many ways, ending one can follow similar lines to a marriage breakdown.
Like a marriage, for a civil partnership to be ended a couple must apply to a court stating a valid reason for the relationship to end.
Acceptable reasons.
At the moment the UK does not permit a divorce unless there are grounds for the divorce, that may change but until it does you will need to show one of the following reasons that the relationship has come to an end.
- Unreasonable behaviour – this can include abuse or infidelity.
- Two year separation – both parties must then agree to the end of the civil partnership.
- Desertion – if one person has deserted the other for two years out of the past two and a half years.
- Separation for five years – if one person does not agree with the ending of the partnership a period of five years separation will be needed before the partnership can be dissolved.
How to dissolve the partnership.
You will need to complete and send two copies of a dissolution petition to the family court along with your original partnership certificate and a court fee.
You must then apply for a conditional order which states that the partnership can be dissolved.
The courts will have sent the dissolution petition to the other party who must either contest or agree with the petition
If everyone agrees you can then apply for a final order which will legally dissolve your partnership, there are time frames to work with and additional fees to pay.
As in any relationship very rarely are things simple, if you have children together, financial agreements or are concerned about the distribution of assets we would recommend you consult a solicitor.
