If you are entering into a civil partnership, or your relationship has come to an end, you may need the help of a solicitor. If so, contact us at Solicitors Near Me. We can put you in touch with a lawyer who specialises in family law and civil partnerships.
Now that same-sex marriage has been legalised, civil partnerships are becoming less common in the UK. Even so, same-sex couples still have the option of entering into a civil partnership. You can also convert your civil partnership into a marriage.
Before you do so, you may require expert legal advice. This need might arise if you encounter any difficulties while registering your civil partnership – perhaps because one person is subject to immigration control.
Or, you might want to discuss the ways in which a marriage or civil partnership changes your rights and responsibilities to each other. For example, once your marriage or civil partnership is finalised, your partner will have a greater claim over your assets.
If you want to protect your personal wealth, it is advisable to put a Prenuptial Agreement in place. If you are in a same-sex relationship but have not legally formalised your union, you can get a Cohabitation Agreement instead.
Civil partnership dissolution
If your relationship does come to an end, you may want to sever the ties between you by getting a civil partnership dissolution. To do this, you must apply for a Dissolution Order. A solicitor can guide you through the process, explaining the grounds for dissolution and the steps involved.
If you do not want to get a civil partnership dissolution, or you cannot because it’s been less than a year since you registered your partnership, you can get a Separation Order instead.
Civil partnership disputes
When a relationship breaks down, there are often lots of difficult decisions to make, including what happens to your money, property and children. If you cannot reach a mutually agreeable solution, you may want to involve a solicitor in your negotiations.
A solicitor can advise what a reasonable settlement would look like, and can help you achieve this outcome. This can be done through mediation and negotiation. If a resolution is not reached, the matter can go to court.
