Civil Partnership Dissolution Solicitors

Questions like the below keep many couples up at night, as they seek a civil partnership divorce after having a fallout.

  • “How do you dissolve a civil partnership?”
  • “What are the legal rights in a partnership?”
  • “Can a civil partnership solicitor hep me dissolve a civil partnership?”

However, our civil partnerships solicitors can be easily reached in both cases: whether you’re planning on dissolving a civil partnership or entering into one.

Hugh James (the civil partnership solicitors) are well-versed in all kinds of civil partnership cases, particularly those involving complex child law or financial issues, including having a child through a surrogate and pre-partnership agreement to help couples have a more secure future together.

Our civil partnership solicitors not only help couples in dissolving a civil partnership in the UK or forming one, but also write and lecture regularly on a vast range of issues around civil partnerships. In many cases, we have helped improve the law in our respective areas of operation, helping individuals from all backgrounds understand their rights in civil partnerships, and providing them with tailored advice – in case of both civil partnership dissolutions and formations.

Understanding Civil Partnership Law: Dissolving a Civil Partnership in the UK

However, you are required to be in a civil partnership for a minimum of 12 months before you can submit an application for dissolving a civil partnership.

With our civil partnerships solicitors available to guide you, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. They are experts in this area of family law and can help you both apply and respond to a dissolution order, as and when the need arises.

Did you know that a civil partnership dissolution (online and in-person) can take as little as 4 months? This is especially true if the dissolution is amicable and both parties are in agreement. However, it’s worth noting that the process can take longer if there is a disagreement between both parties, or if complex financial matters need to be resolved. In any case, our civil partnership divorce lawyers will fight hard on your behalf, getting things resolved quickly and peacefully, all the while seeing to it that your interests are fully protected.
