What Is Civil Partnership Dissolution?
Civil partnership dissolution is the legal process of formally ending a civil partnership. Similar to divorce, it involves applying to the court for a formal decree that legally dissolves the relationship. To apply, you must have been in the partnership for at least one year.
Once dissolved, you are legally free to enter another civil partnership or marriage.
No-Fault Dissolution – A Simpler Process
Under the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020, civil partnership dissolution in England and Wales now follows a no-fault process (as of April 2022).
This means:
-
You no longer need to prove fault (e.g. adultery or unreasonable behaviour)
-
Either one or both partners can apply
-
The only ground is that the partnership has irretrievably broken down
This modernised approach helps reduce conflict and emotional strain for both parties.
The Civil Partnership Dissolution Process
The legal process involves several key steps:
​
-
Application: One or both partners file a dissolution application with the court.
-
Acknowledgment: The other partner is notified and responds.
-
Conditional Order: The court agrees that the partnership can be dissolved.
-
Final Order: The court issues a decree formally ending the civil partnership.
We handle all documentation and guide you through every step.
Financial and Legal Considerations
Our solicitors provide clear advice on the financial and legal matters that may arise during dissolution, including:
​
-
Division of property and assets acquired during the partnership
-
Spousal maintenance or financial support, where applicable
-
Pension sharing or adjustment of entitlements
-
Child arrangements and financial support if children are involved
We aim to resolve financial matters fairly, whether through negotiation, mediation, or court proceedings.
