Just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and the team – not the nicest of circumstances – but it was a real pleasure working with you, which resulted in the right outcome. You certainly kept me sane and my feet on the ground throughout the process. Finally, thank you for keeping my costs down. I have already recommended you to several people should they need any legal advice.
How does civil partnership dissolution work?
Dissolution of a civil partnership is a very similar process to divorce, so you should seek legal advice for guidance on how to proceed. Since 2022, a no-fault procedure is applied to dissolution. Therefore, much like divorce, there is no need to introduce grounds into the process other than that your relationship has irretrievably broken down. You must, however, have been in a partnership for at least a year before you can apply to the court for a dissolution order.
Usually, the dissolving of a civil partnership depends on the promptness of the parties involved; if you are in agreement, the court will generally take 6-9 months to process the dissolution. However, disagreements or the slow return of documents can delay the process.
