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.

You all helped me through a really tough and stressful situation.  Thank you so much.

Mr M 

Hello Lucy,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you very much for all your brilliant advice. I don’t think I would have got through it all without your support. I will certainly recommend you to anyone who needs an excellent solicitor.

Ms K – Brighton

Thank you for all your help Sarah. I would not have got to this point on my own without your help. I appreciate everything you’ve done and the way you have always been so approachable and understanding of my situation. Without having you there this past year, I would be in a much more anxious and unhappy state of mind – and I would have felt helpless and unable to speak during the hearings.

Ms G

Even though I am not your client, I would like to thank you for your prompt responses and the help you have provided.

I would certainly recommend you to anyone looking for a family lawyer.

Ms S – Brighton

Ms C

Many thanks for your advice and guidance throughout this very stressful process. Your careful and considered approach, your good advice and your empathetic professionalism have helped to reduce my anxiety levels immeasurably. I would wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend your services to anyone going through this horrible process.
